Ingredients:

  • 6 Idaho Potatoes, peeled, cooked, cooled
  • white flour
  • salt

Instructions:

  1. When potatoes are cool, mash with potato masher.
  2. Measure mashed potatoes in large measuring cup.
  3. Then put in large bowl.
  4. Remember how many cups of potatoes you had; now add equal amount of white flour to the large bowl.
  5. Mix with floured hands until you have pea-sized mixture of potato and flour. 
  6. Now grasp with both hands like you are making a large snowball. Pack them good, until they stay together.
  7. Meanwhile boil a large pot of salted water on the stove. Place dumplings in gently boiling water, occasionally stirring so they don't burn on the bottom. 
  8. When dumplings rise to the top, they are done. (approx. 30 minutes). Do not cover pot while cooking.
