Ingredients
-
¼ pound salt pork, cubed
-
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
-
1 ½ cups cold mashed potatoes
-
1 large egg
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pinch ground nutmeg
-
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 gallon water, or as needed
-
2 (32 fluid ounce) containers beef broth (Optional)
Directions
-
Fry salt pork with onion in a skillet until salt pork is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain fat and set salt pork and onion mixture aside.
-
Mix mashed potatoes, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg together in a bowl; stir 1 cup flour into potato mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup flour onto a work surface and turn dough out onto flour. Knead flour on the work surface into dough.
-
Cut dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls, dusting your hands and sprinkling work surface with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Press your thumb into each dumpling to make an indentation, and fill with a small amount of salt pork-onion mixture. Pinch dumplings closed and roll in flour.
-
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. If desired, replace 1/2 of the water with beef broth. Drop dumplings into boiling water and broth; reduce heat to low. Simmer until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
