Potato Dumplings - Greek

Potato Dumplings

Ingredients

• 2 cups Mashed Potatoes, chilled

• 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour

• 1 large Egg

• 1 teaspoon No. 12 Greek Spice Blend

• 2-3 slices stale Bread, finely grated

• 4 cups water

• 1 teaspoon Salt and Pepper

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, No. 12 Greek Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

2. Add enough grated bread to form a soft and pliable dough, about 1/4 cup.

3. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.

4. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large pot.

5. Carefully drop the potato dumplings into the boiling water, one at a time.

6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the dumplings for 20-25 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

7. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot with gravy.

Note: The dumplings can be placed in an oven-proof pan and baked in a hot oven, browning if desired. This makes a wonderful alternative.
