Ingredients for making Potato Dumplings Recipe
- 9 medium potatoes, peeled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
Directions for making Potato Dumplings Recipe
- Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Drain water, and place potatoes into a large bowl. Mash potatoes, leaving them slightly lumpy (just like making mashed potatoes).
- Mix in the salt, eggs, flour, 2/3 cup of bread crumbs, and nutmeg. Roll into walnut sized balls. If the dough is too sticky, you may want to mix in more flour or bread crumbs.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the water.
- When they come up to the surface, allow them to boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, and keep warm.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and 1/4 cup of bread crumbs.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are tender, and the sauce has thickened some. Pour sauce over the dumplings before serving.
