(see pic of Czech dumplings aka Bohemian Knedl) Try doing that with our freshly made dumplings and you'll see that they can't be sliced in the same way because they are typically softer and and has a looser consistency. Only if you allow them to cool down and store them for a day, they solidify and can then be sliced, too.

Re: German potato dumplings
UPDATEI'm not too crazy about the lack of flavor in most of the recipes on the WEB. When you think about it, what flavor do mashed potatoes, minus butter/cream, have ??? Or plain breadcrumbs have. Plain eggs ? NOPE
So, I am currently playing around with ground up FLAVORED croutons. And adding those to the mashed potatoes.
