Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- Approximately 4 ounces ham or other cooked pork cut into 8-12 cubes
- 5 Tablespoons melted butter
- Salt, for the cooking water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a steady simmer.
- While the water is heating, grate the potatoes and place them in a large bowl.
- Add flour, egg, and salt to the bowl.
- Mix and knead until firm. Add more flour as needed to reach a stiff bread-dough consistency.
- Divide the dough into 8-12 portions. Wrap each portion around one cube of ham and form it into a dumpling about the size of a large meatball.
- Add the dumplings to the simmering water without overcrowding the pot. Simmer for 45 minutes. After about 5 minutes, gently loosen any dumplings sticking to the bottom, then check them occasionally while they cook.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Notes
- I recommend using Russet, but Yukon Gold would work as well. You can try other potatoes, but you will get varied results.
