These homemade potato dumplings made from cooked potatoes are tender, soft and simply delicious. They consist of three main ingredients and contain no eggs. The German Kartoffelklöße are ideal for a Sunday dinner with the family or for a festive menu. You can find a detailed vegan potato dumplings recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
German Kartoffelklöße made from cooked potatoes
I made the vegan potato dumplings from cooked potatoes. A little potato flour is added to the dough to bind it together.
There are different ways of preparing the German Kartoffelklöße, which vary depending on the region. Some recipes use raw potatoes. “Dumplings half and half” are made from raw and cooked potatoes.
Which potatoes for the recipe?
Potatoes with little moisture and lots of starch are best for the vegan dumplings. So use floury potatoes for the recipe, just like for the vegan gnocchi or the Russian Farmer’s cheese potato dumplings.
Egg-less vegan potato dumplings
My Kartoffelklöße are egg-less, just like the potato zrazy with mushrooms. Instead of animal butter, I have used a plant-based butter alternative. With this recipe, you make vegan potato dumplings that are heavenly tender, soft, absolutely non-sticky and so delicious.
How to make the best vegan potato dumplings?
Follow these details to make the most delicious vegan potato dumplings.
- Use floury potatoes for the recipe.
- You should leave the cooked potatoes to steam for a while on the hot stove.
- Allow the mashed potatoes to cool before adding potato starch.
- Cook the vegan potato dumplings in simmering, not rapidly boiling, salted water.
How to serve and store?
The German Kartoffelklöße taste delicious with the vegan gravy. You can serve them as a side dish with the lentil loaf or the bean roast.
The vegan potato dumplings also taste delicious with the mushroom goulash, jackfruit goulash and mushroom stroganoff. You can serve them with the stewed cabbage, pickled red cabbage, the salad “Donskoy” or the pickled vegetable salad with tomatoes.
Store any leftover vegan potato dumplings on a plate in the fridge. Then reheat them in simmering water before serving.
In addition to the vegan lasagne, the Uzbek plov or the cauliflower curry, the German Kartoffelklöße are suitable for a family meal at the weekend as well as for a festive menu. For example, they are perfect as a side dish for a Christmas dinner.

How to make vegan potato dumplings: tips and tricks
- The cooking time of potatoes depends on their size.
- Instead of mashing with a potato masher, you can also press the potatoes through a potato ricer.
- It is best to leave the mashed potatoes to cool completely before adding potato flour or potato starch. This way, you won’t need too much flour and the dumplings will keep their shape better.
- Only knead the potato dough briefly and never for too long, otherwise it will become sticky.
- The salted water in which the vegan German Kartoffelklöße are cooked must not boil rapidly, otherwise the dumplings could fall apart.
- You can form a test dumpling first and cook it in water. If it falls apart, add some more potato flour to the dough.
