Potato Dumplings?

[givetoget]

Im trying to figure out how to make potato dumplings. Years ago my mom made them they were tasty and solid when i make them there all mush.

Any help please

Add more flour.

Are these the type made with mashed potatoes?

I love them, but I have never found another person that makes them. I thought it was a family thing!

Here's what I do. Add an egg to the mashed potatoes, then start adding flour. Knead in lots and lots of flour. Till you don't think any more will mix in. It should be very stiff. Roll them out and slice into dumplings. Drop in boiling water. They float when done.

Some butter, and there is not much better. Mmm, I haven't made them in a while. I will have to do that.

the ones my dad makes are just a little bit softer than cannon balls...or at least thats what my mom says...

recipe:

1 part mashed potato

2 parts flour

knead until flour/potato is therouly mixed

make balls about the size of a tennis ball...maybe a little smaller

boil for 20 minutes, cover with gravy and enjoy

great to use up the leftovers from a pot-roast

Peel three potatos

.Boil

.mash potatos

.add one egg and mix

.let cool-while cooling put water in kettle and bring to boil

.add two cups of flour to potatos and make balls

.boil 20-25 minutes uncovered

.when making balls make as quick as possible-try not to leave in palms too long!

enjoy one of my favs

p.s pork roast and kraut go great along

Are you talking potato dumplings or Potato Klub? The restaurants up here usually have Potato Klub once a week in the winter. The place I go to have them every Wednesday. I had one today. Really good but they are $1.99 each. They have a slice of ham inside.

My recipe is for 3 lbs of potatoes peeled

1 onion

with 1/4 cup of milk on bottom of blender grind up potatoes and onion

put un bowl and mix in flower until you get a thick pancake like consistancy. ( my recipe says couple Tbs but that is wrong its more like a couple cups)

with a spoon scoop dumplings into boiling water, you can use another spoon to push mixture off spoon, I use a small metal icecream scooper. If dumplins fall apart add flower.

Boil till firm and rinse in cold water.

Hope this helps I mix it with sour kraut and bacon.
