Steps:

• 1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix all ingredients until a thick paste forms. Dip a teaspoon in the boiling water, then dip teaspoon in the dumpling mixture, picking up half a teaspoon or so, and slide it into the gently boiling water. Continue until all the dumpling dough is gone. Simmer about 20 minutes or until dumplings taste done. Drain in a colander and serve as a side dish, a Lenten/vegetarian meal (OR, in soup). Makes enough Drop Potato Dumplings for about 8 servings of soup (but not in our house). NOTE: If you like you can roll some of the dough between 2-spoons before dropping them into the broth. Just depends on how you like the look them ...taste same either way. The pic above is just drops of loose dough; bottom pic is the rolled look.
