Matzo Potato Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash.
• In a medium bowl combine 2 cups mashed potatoes with flour and egg. Using about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mixture each, shape into dumplings. Press a crouton into the center of each and seal dough around it.
• Drop dumplings into simmering soup or broth, cover and cook 20 minutes. Do not remove lid while dumplings are cooking.

Steps:

• Boil and rice the potatoes then cool them.
• Add eggs, salt, matzo meal, and nutmeg - if using to the potatoes and mix well.
• Knead mixture until smooth.
• Place a teaspoon of dough in the boiling water. If it falls apart, add more matzo meal.
• Shape into a long thin snake and cut into bite-sized pieces. Don't make them too big or they won't cook through.
• Place into the boiling water, making sure they stay separated.
• Cook until they rise to the top. This time will vary depending on the size of your dumplings.
• Once risen, cook 3 minutes more until the middle is cooked.
• Drain and serve.

Steps:

• Soak the matzos in boiling water, and when softened, drain and squeeze dry. Heat the fat in a skillet, add the onions, fry to a golden brown, then add the soaked matzos. Stir until it leaves the skillet clean, then add the seasonings. After it cools, add the egg and the matzo meal. Let stand in the refrigerator overnight. Use ice water on the hands to roll and shape into golf ball sized balls and cook in boiling salted water until done, about 30 minutes. Drain and place in pyrex dish and keep warm in low temp oven (with door open) until ready to serve. Cover with melted butter and chopped parsley. These dumplings are especially good when covered by sauce from the accompanying chicken.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until soft. Drain and allow to cool. Once cool, mash with oil, eggs, salt, pepper and dill.
• Stir in potato starch until thoroughly combined, and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour.
• Bring soup or a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Use your hands to gently form rough ball shapes from one tablespoon of batter at a time, and submerge dumplings in the soup or water - If you prefer, you may use a soup spoon or ice cream scoop to move free-form spoonfuls of batter into the pot. Boil for approximately 5-6 minutes - The dumplings will float up to the surface quickly but will need several additional minutes to cook all the way through.
• Serve in soup, or as a side dish with butter or margarine and fried onions.
