Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 1 large potato in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then peel and mash in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the mashed potato with 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp chopped chives, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Place 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal, removing air bubbles.

  4. Step 4

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the kasnudeln in batches of 6-8 for 3-4 minutes until they float and are tender.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Drain the kasnudeln and toss with the browned butter. Serve hot, garnished with extra chives if desired.

  7. Step 7

    Enjoy warm, with a sprinkle of salt if needed.
