Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the mushrooms in 1 liter of hot water for 20 minutes. Then bring to a boil and cook until the mushrooms are soft. Strain the mushroom broth and finely chop the mushrooms.

Step 2

Boil the potatoes in their skins until soft. Rinse the potatoes with cold water and peel them. Let cool.

Step 3

Grate the potatoes, mix with the eggs, beaten yolks, melted butter (2 tablespoons), salt, and pepper. Add enough flour to make a medium-thick dough (so it can be shaped). Add a bit of mushrooms and knead.

Step 4

With wet hands, form round patties from the potato mixture. Coat in flour and fry in vegetable oil under a lid until golden brown on both sides.

Step 5

At the same time, in a small pot, sauté 2 tablespoons of flour in 3 tablespoons of butter until beige. Pour in 3 cups of mushroom broth, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Add the remaining mushrooms and cream, season with salt and pepper. Serve the patties with the mushroom sauce.
