How to make Cepelinai. Localtaste.lt 

Yes. The recipe uses both raw and cooked potato

When you strain minced raw potatoes, do not pour the potato ‘juice’ away, but let it stay in a bowl for few minutes. At the bottom of the bowl potato starch will settle. Carefully pour away the ‘juice’ and then put the starch in to a boiled and raw potatoes’ mix- ‘dough’. This step is very important! If you get no starch at the bottom of the bowl, you must put in shop-bought potatoes starch. About 2 tablespoons for maybe 15 cepelinai. I am not sure why they did not show that starch part in the video, as it is the reason why cepelinai disintegrating in the water while boiling. Boil on medium for about 25-30 mins. Good luck! Did you know that first sunday of February (next w/end) is an International Cepelinai Day?

@@lietuve2001 I didn't know this my husband is lithuanian thanks for the tips I did add extra potato starch but nothing it still broke thanks :)

anyone wondering, yes it is. they use raw minimised potato and then they boiled it after filling.

Usually 60 percent of potatoes are raw, grated, and 40 percent cooked and mashed before making dough.

When you strain the potatoes you should be left with some starch at the bottom of the bowl with all the liquid . Use that whilst molding the cepelinas , it should help it keep it’s shape when it comes to boiling it. It may also be the type of potato you use

need to add starch in potatoes

It depends on potato sort
