POTATO DUMPLINGS
This is a Scandinavian dish. The savory dumplings
are excellent with almost any meat main course,
and they offer a new alternative to more
traditional side dishes. Serves 6 to 8.
4 c shredded raw potatoes
2 c flour
1 tbsp salt
2-3 qts beef, ham, or chicken broth
16 1/2" cubes cooked ham
Melted butter
Chopped parsley
Place potatoes in a strainer. Rinse with cold
water to prevent browning; drain well. In a bowl,
combine flour and salt. Add potatoes; stir until
coated.
In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil over
medium heat. Using a serving spoon, scoop a
rounded spoonful of potato mixture, about the
size of an egg. Press 1 cube of ham into center,
covering completely. Using a slotted spoon,
carefully lower dumpling into hot broth. Quickly
shape remaining dumplings the same way and lower
into broth.
Adjust heat to maintain a simmer but not a hard
boil. Simmer at least 45 minutes, turning over
dumplings after about 25 minutes. Use slotted
spoon to lift dumplings from broth. Serve hot
with melted butter; garnish with parsley.
Makes 16 dumplings.
