One of my family’s favorites.
Very rich and fattening but worth
it.
My Mom taught my Dad and Dad taught me.
My brother and I grew
up on this.
Potato Dumplings
4 peeled and grated Idaho potatoes
2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
About 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour
Grate potatoes, add salt, eggs and flour.
Add a little water
(about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) if dough is too stiff.
Drop small portions
from tip of spoon into boiling water.
Cook 5-8 minutes.
Drain well.
Keep warm.
Fry 1 pound bacon and crumble into pieces.
Fry 1 medium head (core removed) of chopped cabbage and 3 medium
diced onions in butter till slightly browned.
Season with salt and
pepper.
Combine cooked potato dumplings, crumbled bacon, browned cabbage
and onions.
Add a little more butter, if needed, if it appears too
dry.
Season to taste.
Best if served immediately.
* NOTE: To raw potato dumplings mixture I sometimes add 1
tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and 2 cloves minced fresh
garlic.
