Introduction & history

Mohnnudeln is a dish that is said to originate from Waldviertel, a part of Lower Austria known for the production of poppy seeds. The dish consists of two components: potato dumplings similar to the German schupfnudeln and a poppy seed garnish. The poppy seed garnish usually consists of ground poppy seeds, sugar, vanilla sugar, and rum. It is typically served as a main dish, rarely as a dessert.
