Potato Dumplings

Here’s another timeless recipe right out of my grandmother’s recipe box. This is a great side for that ‘Meat and Potato’ meal you’ve got on the menu…

Potato Dumplings
3 large potatoes, peeled & cubed
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
dash or two nutmeg
butter (optional)

Place the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender (~10 mintues). Drain. Mash the potatoes and spread on a baking sheet to cool. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cooled potatoes, flour, salt and nutmeg to the eggs. Mix with a wooden spoon until a heavy dough forms. If too wet add a little more flour. On floured surface, cut dough into 20 pieces and shape into round balls. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface (5-10 minutes depending on the size of your dumplings). Allow to cook an additional minute or two. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon. Optional: Heat a few tablespoons of butter in a skillet on medium high. Gently sauté the cooked dumplings in the butter until coated on all sides. Serve hot. You can also top these dumplings with your favorite gravy. Delicious!

Enjoy!
