Recipe Potato Dumplings Amish Cooking Recipes

Cook cleaned unpeeled potatoes in boiling water about 30 minutes until tender. Drain, cool slightly, and peel. Put the potatoes through a food mill or ricer. Place in a large bowl and gently stir in the salt and pepper. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Sift 1/2 cup of the flour over the eggs. Add the bread crumbs, nutmeg, and parsley. Mix until it is smooth and holds together. Shape into egg-size balls. Roll in the remaining flour. Meanwhile, bring about 2 quarts lightly salted water to boiling point in large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Drop in potato balls, 1 at a time, just enough to fit comfortably in the pan. boil gently, uncovered, for 2 minutes after they rise to the surface. With a slotted spoon, transfer dumplings to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
