Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and dice the medium potatoes.
  2. Place diced potatoes in a large kettle or pot; add bay leaves and enough water to cover them.
  3. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, mix flour, salt, and water to form a soft dough.
  5. Knead slightly, adding more flour as necessary to make the dough manageable.
  6. Roll the dough out flat and cut into small pieces (knephlas) using a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors.
  7. Once potatoes are cooked, stir the knephlas into the pot; boil for 5 minutes.
  8. Add more water if needed; the knephlas should float when done.
  9. Add milk and heat until warm.
  10. In a separate small skillet, fry chopped onion in butter until golden brown; do not overcook.
  11. Mix the fried onions into the warm soup and serve immediately.
