1
-4 medium potatoes  
-3 bay leaves  
cups flour  
tablespoon (or less) salt  
1 ¼ cups water  
2-3 cups milk  
1 medium onion  
¼ cup butter or margarine  
Peel and dice potatoes. Place in large kettle; add bay leaves and enough water to cover. Bring  
to a boil, cooking until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix flour, salt, and  
water to form a soft dough. Knead slightly, adding more flour as necessary to make dough  
manageable. Roll dough out flat and cut knephlas with a pizza cutter, or form ropes of dough  
about as thick as your thumb, press flat, and snip off short pieces with kitchen scissors. Once  
potatoes are cooked, stir in knephlas; boil 5 minutes. You may need to add more water.  
Knephlas should float when done. Add milk and heat until warm. Fry chopped onion in  
butter until golden brown; do not overcook. Mix onions into warm soup; serve. Add salt and  
pepper to taste.
