1/4 tsp grated nutmeg

1 cup toasted or fried white bread cubes

Flour

1-1/2 quarts boiling salted water (1-1/2 tsps salt)

Scrub potatoes

Boil in salted water until just soft enough to mash

Drain and mash smoothly

Add egg yolks, cornstarch, cereal, pepper, salt, and nutmeg

Beat well shape into dumplings, place a few bread cubes in center of each

(it is a good idea to shape 1 dumpling first, and if it does not hold together while cooking, beat a little flour into dumpling mixture before shaping remainder)

Roll each dumpling lightly in flour

Cook in rapidly boiling salted water 15 to 20 minutes

Remove cooked dumplings from water

Serve hot

Makes 12 or more dumplings,

Serves 6 to 8

Any left over dumplings may be cut in half, sautéed in butter, and used as garnish on a meat or salad platter

Potato Dumplings
(My mom's recipe)

Cut up bread in very small pieces (keep pieces from crust separate)

1 cup dry bread (cut in small pieces)

1 small onion and

1 cup bread (cut up small, fry onion in butter, and then add the 1 cup bread until toasted lightly

1 cup bread cut up (use crusts) etc. Soaked just enough to moisten bread with hot water

2 eggs well beaten

3 cups ground potatoes (cold)

Put ground potatoes in big pan,

Salt and pepper to taste

Pour beaten egg over potatoes, Mix lightly

Add all bread,

Mix lightly

Add flour enough to hold together lightly (when small ball is made (handle gently)

Roll lightly all over in flour

Boil for about 20 minutes in salted boiling water, unless making big dumplings then boil a little longer

Test couple of little ones first to see if they hold together

I used

1 large cup flour for 8 cups of potatoes and used

About 2 slices bread for 1 to 2 cups bread pieces

Serve with sauerkraut.
