To burn it off
Potato dumplings are the round, soft balls next to the goose: Kartoffelklöße in Germany, bramborové knedlíky in Czechia, knedle in Poland. If you have only met them at a Christmas market or a German restaurant, they are the thing built for soaking up gravy.
Two are about 260 kcal, with 52 g of carbs, 5 g of protein and just 2 g of fat. They are mostly potato and starch, so they are filling without being rich.
The calories on the plate come from what goes over them. A ladle of gravy and some goose skin is where the rest of the dinner adds up.
Tips
- 1Have one dumpling and more red cabbage. That saves 130 and the plate still looks full.
- 2Spoon the gravy on, do not pour. The dumpling soaks it up either way.
