Grated Potato Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large pot of water to boiling.
• Peel potatoes, and keep submerged in cold water to prevent browning. Grate potatoes, by hand or with a food processor, into a large bowl. Drain any excess water. Stir in flour and salt. With a teaspoon, form a test dumpling. If it doesn't hold together, Stir in more flour.
• Form dumplings with a teaspoon, and gently drop into boiling water. Allow dumplings to float freely. Gently stir with wooden spoon so dumplings don't stick together. Reduce heat to slow boil. Boil for 40 minutes.
• Drain in colander. Rinse with hot water. Serve with gravy or melted butter.

Steps:

• Peel 10-12 medium potatoes (about 7 cups).
• In a large bowl, shred potatoes. I have a 7 cup food processor and it makes the job really quick. Otherwise, a hand grater is all you need.
• In a separate small bowl -- mix the eggs and salt and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture over the shredded potatoes and using your hands, mix well.
• Gradually add in the flour, again using your hands. This is very heavy and gooey and is usually too much work for your mixer or it's blades.
• Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil.
• Using a generous amount of flour on your hands, scoop a handful of the potato mixture into your hands and form into a ball. Place each dumpling on a cookie sheet for an easy transfer to the boiling water. (Recipe makes 10-12 baseball sized dumplings.).
• Once water reaches a rolling boil, gently add each dumpling and continue to boil until the dumplings float.
• Remove the dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon or strainer spoon and place in serving dish. Best served hot with gravy or sauerkraut.
• Dumplings also make one of the best leftover breakfast items ever! Chop into bite sized pieces and saute with butter and garlic salt to put a crowd pleasing twist on traditional hashbrowns!

Steps:

• Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder, and pepper together in a bowl. Place the potatoes and onion in a large bowl, and stir in the flour mixture until thoroughly blended. Use floured hands to knead the potato mixture in the bowl until it takes on the quality of stiff bread dough. Add additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
• Pinch off a tennis ball-sized piece of dough and shape it around a cube of ham, completely covering the ham, to form a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and ham cubes. Set aside any extra ham.
• Fill a large pot with water, add 2 teaspoons salt and any extra ham, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide the balls into the boiling water, a few at a time. Loosen any sticking to the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on a plate. Serve hot with melted butter.

Steps:

• Fill a large soup pot (not sauce pan, too small) about half full of water and bring to a boil.
• Using just your hands, knead together equal amounts mashed potatoes and flour in a bowl until it forms a dough.
• Form dough into baseball/tennis ball sized balls.
• Carefully, so as not to splash, drop dumplings one at a time into boiling water. Do not over crowd pot. You only want a single layer of dumplings.
• The dumplings will sink to the bottom.
• Bring water back to a boil and then simmer.
• When the dumplings begin to float they're done. Don't take them out of the water right away, let them float for about 5 minutes before removing them.
• Remove finished dumplings from water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl or on a serving plate.
• Serve alongside any kind of roast and top with gravy or butter and salt and pepper. Yum!
• Leftovers can be cut up into bite-sized pieces.
