MEALS - Dumplings

By juliekutil

Ingredients

• 8 potatoes (4 cups), mashed
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. salt (omit if leftovers are already salted)
• 2 eggs, mixed (do not beat to a froth)

Preparation

Step 1

MIx eggs with potatoes in large bowl. Add salt and flour. Mix thoroughly until dough is in a ball. Roll pieces of dough in palms of lightly flour hands into 20-24 balls the size of golf balls. Drop into rapidly boiling water in a pot large enough to hold 4 to 5 quarts of water, as dumplings bob to the top to float. (it's okay to have more than one layer, but the dumplings need to be free in water, not touching bottom of pot.)

Cover pot, tip cover a little to prevent boil overs. Boil dumplings 15-20 minutes. Dip out with slotted spoon; place drained dumplings on heated platter. Serve with gravy. (if you have no gravy, brown onions in butter to put over dumplings).
