Creamy Austrian Rice With Peas and Onions (Quick)

This recipe is SO SIMPLE! But oh so good!!!!!!! A great way to make a quick side dish without a lot of fuss, but great flavor! My own concoction, though I think it’s Austrian…??? I think I saw Emeril?? make it years ago, but I didn’t write it down. So this is my own version. My picky hubby even likes it! 🙂 Haha! And he swears he hates Minute Rice!

Kartoffelkloesse (german Potato Dumplings)

Just what the name implies – these are German-style potato dumplings, as found everywhere in the South of Germany, Austria and Bohemia. These are traditionally served with any roast with gravy, but most well-known as an accompaniment for a hearty Sauerbraten and red cabbage. Like polenta, second-day leftovers are a treat when sliced into slabs and fried in butter.

Potato Rissoles

Also known as Potato Croquettes, this version was adapted from Modern Cooking for Private Families and then published in The Great Victorian Cookbook by John Midgley, published in 1995…My mother used to make different types of croquettes when I was little, no doubt to stretch the meat for our large family…Decades have passed and the original recipes are long gone, but this one looks very much like one of hers…I’d like to surprise her one day with this old standby, so I’m placing it here for safekeeping!
