My Mother used to make Koenigsberger Klopese years ago for me. Not sure I would even still like it but would love to try again!!

I was born in germany and raised german but lived in the states since I was 5.
All the family recipes that were in the family were lost in the wars! :(
I have the basic recipes that my Mom cooked like goulash, schnitzel, roladen, and the basics....potato pancakes and such.

1 day old hard roll (place in dish, add water and soften, then press out water and save roll for mixture)
1 onion
parsley
4 anchovies (optional)
1 egg
1 Tbsp. hard grated cheese
salt
pepper
nutmeg
Gravy:
2 Tbsp.butter or olive oil

2 Tbsp. capers
Directions:
Mix ground meat with softened roll, finely chopped onion, about four pieces of finely chopped parsley (stems removed), anchovies, egg, and grated cheese, add salt, pepper, and nutmeg according to your taste.

Make a gravy from butter or olive oil, flour, and water. Add small rounded meatballs and cook in gravy. Add capers and simmer slowly for 20 minutes. If you like a lot of gravy, double the recipe for the gravy.
Serve with potatoes and a green salad.

Potatoes: (Salzkartoffel)
Peel and quarter 6-8 Yukon yellow potatoes (depending on size) and boil for 15 minutes or until done. You may want to add a little salt to water before boiling the potatoes.

My mum is German (came from East Germany) and has made this dish as long as I can remember.

From memory it goes something like this:

Pork mince made into meatballs with egg, salt & pepper and fresh breadcrumbs

pan fry the meatballs, remove from the pan

with the pan juices, make a sauce by adding butter, flour, milk (like a white sauce), lemon juice, capers (and possibly anchovies), salt & pepper and a little mustard

reduce the sauce until thickened. add meatballs and some extra capers to the sauce.

serve with boiled rice or boiled potatoes and a squirt of lemon

memories! now my mouth is watering. (:
