Grandma Vanicek's Czechoslovakian Potato

Dumplings

 

Instructions:

 

6 md Potatoes

1 Egg yolk

1½ teaspoon Salt

½ All-purpose flour

 

These are *not* fluffy dumplings as in chicken

and dumplings. They are a " sturdy " potato

dumpling served as a side dish to meat, and

usually with a sweet sauerkraut/carraway/honey

dish as the vegetable.

 

* * *

 

Boil peeled potatoes in small quantity of water.

 

Drain potatoes thoroughly.

 

Rice potatoes through hand held masher/ricer.

 

Let potatoes cool.

 

On floured board, gradually add flour, working

mixture into dough with hands.

 

Shape potato mixture into a long roll and cut

into 10 slices.

 

Drop dumplings into boiling water and boil

gently about 5 minutes.

 

Drain dumplings on paper towel.

 

The dumplings are fully cooked after the boiling

process, but traditionally, Czechoslovakians then

melt butter in a heavy frying pan, and fry the

dumplings until they are lightly browned on all

sides.
