[QUOTE="klein, post: 882301, member: 23950"] A receipe I just tried and it was great ! German Potato Dumplings made easy : [COLOR=#ff0000][SIZE=5][B]Instant Mashed Potato Dumplings[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [CENTER]by Jeff McCade (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) [/CENTER] My mother grew up in Berlin during the war and the blockade as well. Potatoes were not readily available, but they did get instant mashed potatoes and adapted recipes to use them. One of these was potato dumplings. I have found them to be a great time saver in the kitchen. 3 eggs 2 cups instant mashed potatoes 1.5 cups water or milk 2+/- cups of flour salt, pepper, parsley, cooked bacon, sauteed onions to taste or as desired. Mix all ingredients, except the flour, in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. Then add flour until dough is a consistency to be able to roll into balls. Boil pot of salted water, and drop balls into water. Boil gently until they float and are cooked through and they are ready to serve. If you have any left over, they are great fried with a dollop of sour cream. [COLOR=#000080]Now, I made this late dinner using Lipton sidekicks mashed potatoes with beef gravy mix. (only 1 3/4 cup of potatoe flakes, so downsize on other ingredients appropiatly, like just using 2 eggs, and using less water and milk (I used about 1/2 cup of milk, and 3/4 cup of water and only 1 1/4 cup flour). I had inside round steaks marinating for over 24 hrs in spices and Knorr Marinating sauce. I added frozen California Vegetable Mix to the same hot water pot I was boiling my dumplings. I had my frying pan hot, and ready to go for the steaks and onions, but waited until the dumplings would rise to the top, (took about 6-8 min). Turned down the heat of the dumplings/veggies, and fast fried my steaks and onions, then used a cup of that veggie/potato hotwater to make that instant gravy quickly, and added the gravy to the frying pan, once the steaks were almost done, and heat was on low. All in all a really good supper (prep time about 10 min, cooking time another 10 min) - simple, fast, easy and good ! :) Here's a pic of my end result taken from my kitchen just half hr ago: (note: dumplings are very filling, but good, could only eat 2 for now, have 2 more cooked, and some unused dough that will make another 3 or 4 of them - covered in the refrigerator to make some more fresh ones tomorrow).
