Potato Stew w/dumplings

[Guest guest]

This is another that isn't a crockpot recipe...any ideas on how to

convert it to one?

 

 

Potato Stew with Dumplings

 

2 cups raw potato cut into 1/2 inch cubes

2-1/2 cups cold water

1 teaspoon chopped onion

1-1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable butter

2 tablespoons flour

Bring water, potato, onion and salt to a boil. Rub the butter and the

flour together in a small saucepan over the fire. Add a little of the

potato water and stir smooth. Add more water, boil up, and pour over the

potato

Dumplings

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons vegetable butter

2/3 cup sifted pastry flour

2 eggs

A sprinkle of salt

Bring water, salt and butter to a boil. Add the flour all at once, and

stir over the fire until the mixture does not stick to the sides of the

pan and is perfectly smooth. Set on the table, break in 1 whole egg, and

stir with a spoon until the egg is completely absorbed in the paste, and

the paste is smooth and thick. Add the other egg in like manner. Drop

from the side of a tablespoon into the boiling stew, having first dipped

the spoon into the hot liquid to avoid the dumplings' sticking to the

spoon. Cover, and let boil gently for about 15 minutes, or until the

potato is thoroughly done, and the gravy reduced to a nice consistency

to dish up. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if at hand.
