Potato Dumplings

Potato Dumplings

DUMPLING
4 cups mashed potatoes (about 6 medium potatoes or 2 lbs.)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, slightly beaten
½ cup bread crumbs
½ tsp. nutmeg
Salt and pepper

TOPPING
¼ cup butter
1/8 cup bread crumbs
1/8 cup chopped onions
2½ slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg, bread crumbs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Mix well. Shape into 15 balls. Heat large pot of water to boiling. Gently drop balls into water. Once they float to the top, simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

In small sauce pan combine butter and onions and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until the butter slightly browns. Remove from heat and stir in bread crumbs and bacon bits. Pour sauce over dumplings before serving.

Great side with any meal and so good.
