SIDE DISH

KARTOFFELKLOSSE (Potato Dumplings), German

YUMMY!!! One of my personal favorites. You can also buy the "dough" ready made from German specialty shops.

Ingredients

• 6 large boiled potatoes
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 2 eggs
• Salt
• 1 cup toasted or fried bread crumbs or bread cubes

Preparation Instructions

Mash potatoes. Mix eggs and milk, add flour slowly with baking powder and beat well, then add to potatoes. Add salt and mix thoroughly. Form tennis ball-size dumplings with wet hands, fill each with about 4 or 5 bread cubes (or 1 tsp. bread crumbs). Put dumplings into boiling salted water. After dumplings emerge, let simmer about 15 minutes more.
