List of Ingredients

2 medium Idaho potatoes
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour (about)
1 medium onion
1/2 cup butter
Salt and paprika to taste
1 small head cabbage (optional)




Recipe

Grate potatoes; add salt, egg and flour. Mix well. If dough is too stiff add a little water (1/4 cup, more or less). Place dumpling dough on a plate; using the tip of a teaspoon, break off small pieces of dough into boiling salted water. Cook from 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Chop onion, set aside. Melt butter in pan. Add onions and dumplings, heat through and mix well.

Season to taste with salt and paprika.

Note: One small head of cabbage, chopped, can be added. We sauteed the cabbage and onions in butter on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the cabbage was tender -- we then added the dumplings and sauteed for about 10 more minutes.
