Grandma's Potato Dumplings

Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes

6 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 slices square sandwich bread

2 tablespoons butter

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

The day before boil potatoes with the skins on until tender. Cook enough to make at least 6 cups cold riced potatoes. Peel the potatoes and rice them. Refrigerate them until needed.

Step 2

Brown 2 to 3 pieces of bread in butter for croutons. Cut into small pieces and let cool.

Step 3

Combine riced potatoes 5 or 6 beaten eggs salt and flour. Add croutons and mix together. The mixture should stick together. Too much flour will make them heavy.

Step 4

Form into balls about the size of tennis balls. Drop into boiling water in a large pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
