| Bohemian Potato Dumplings
2 cups of potatoes, cooked, cooled and
diced
2 medium Eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of All-Purpose Flour
Butter; melted
Bread Crumbs; fine dry |
|
Combine potatoes, eggs, and salt in a bowl; beat with a wooden spoon to combine thoroughly. Add flour, enough to make a stiff dough; mix well. With floured hands, shape dough into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Drop into a large kettle of boiling water; bring water to a slow boil again. Cook about 12 minutes, or until dumplings rise to the top. Test by tearing one dumpling apart with 2 forks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Serve with melted butter and a sprinkling of bread crumbs, if desired. Makes about 18. NOTES : One of the best-liked kinds of Czech dumplings are those made with potatoes, called bramborove knedliky. They can be prepared with 1/2 cup semolina or farina and 1/2 cup flour, as well as with all flour.
