Directions
-
Peel and dice the medium potatoes.
-
Place diced potatoes in a large kettle or pot; add bay leaves and enough water to cover them.
-
Bring to a boil and cook 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 the dough manageable.
-
Roll the dough out flat and cut into small pieces (knephlas) using a pizza cutter or kitchen scissors.
-
Once potatoes are cooked, stir the knephlas into the pot; boil for 5 minutes.
-
Add more water if needed; the knephlas should float when done.
-
Add milk and heat until warm.
-
In a separate small skillet, fry chopped onion in butter until golden brown; do not overcook.
-
Mix the fried onions into the warm soup and serve immediately.
