Old World Potato Dumplings

submitted by butterflydog

4 potatoes
1 egg
2 to 3 cups flour
1 dash salt
1 can sauerkraut
1 large onion
1 lb bacon

Cut up bacon in bite size pieces and fry with chopped onion. Meanwhile, put on
large pot of water to boil. Peel potatoes, cut and grind up in a blender (If the
mixture is too dry to blend, add the egg). In a large bowl, gradually mix flour
with potato mush until loose batter is formed. Put a large scoop of the batter on
a flat surface ( i.e the removable bottom of a springform pan). Holding the flat
surface in one hand, use a fork with the other, pushing finger-size dumplings in
the boiling water (They will rise as they cook). Gently stir, so they don't stick.
After the dumplings are all cooked, drain them in a large colander and put them in
a large serving bowl. Drain sauerkraut in colander, under cold water, squeezing
out excess. Add sauerkraut, cooked bacon and onion to dumplings. Mix gently. Salt
and pepper to taste.

(An alternate version is with the dumplings mixed with drained cottage cheese and
melted butter. ).
