This is a recipe I've revised from a traditional German dish, Kartoffelklosse. my husband was skeptical, but after the first bite, it has been his favorite side dish. Enjoy
3 medium baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt
freshly ground white pepper
chopped fresh parsley
6 servings
Boil the potatoes in salted water until very tender.
Drain, cover the pan, and return to moderate heat to evaporate all liquid from the potatoes.
(important step!) Transfer to a mixing bowl and mash.
Cool to room temperature, then add the nutmeg, egg yolks, salt, and pepper.
Gradually work in the flour, using your hands, until the dough forms a ball.
Place on a floured work surface and shape into a cylinder.
Then cut it in a bias angle, into 2-inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Place the dumplings in the boiling water.
When the water returns to a boil and the dumplings rise to the surface, reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon.
Drain, sprinkle with parsley, and serve

Kartoffel KlöÃe
Potato dumplings
Ingredients:
6 to 8 baking potatoes (medium size)
6 to 8 baking potatoes (medium size)
1/4 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp. margarine
3 slices bread, cut into cubes
Directions:
Cook potatoes in water until tender. Cover and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours. Peel and finely chop cooked potatoes or mash thoroughly. In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, flour, eggs, salt and nutmeg to form a firm, but light paste. If mixture is too moist, add flour as needed. This will keep the dumplings from falling apart during cooking. Melt margarine in large skillet. Add bread cubes and sauté until golden brown. Working with floured hands, form potato paste into a roll about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Cut roll in 8 to 10 pieces. Form pieces into dumplings enclosing a few sautéed bread cubes in center of each dumpling. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add dumplings, one at a time, and simmer about 15 minutes. Dumplings are done when floating on top. Remove dumplings with slotted spoon drain well.
