 the mashed potatoes are mixed well with roll crumbs, eggs, onion, pepper, salt, the ⅛ lb. of melted butter and the flour. The roll cubes are fried in butter crisp and yellow. These pieces are put in the middle of dumplings formed of the mashed potatoes, rolled in flour and cooked in salt water 15 to 20 minutes in an open kettle. The water must be boiling when the dumplings are put in.

Remarks: Try a dumpling; if it does not hold together, add more flour. The dumplings must be taken out of the water as soon as done. Serve hot.

1/12 lb. of butter

4–5 eggs

1 pinch of nutmeg

1 tbsp. of salt

Preparation: The potatoes are boiled, peeled and grated. When they are cold, butter, eggs, nutmeg, salt and flour are stirred in. The roll cubes are fried in butter until crisp, then medium sized dumplings are formed from this mixture with the roll cubes in the center.
