Swedish Mashed Potatoes Recipe 465

Steps:

• When potatoes are done, whip with the above ingredient until light and fluffy. Put in a well greased casserole dish. Cover with crumb topping: 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs (I use Italian for extra flavor) and 2 tbsp. melted butter. Bake uncovered at 350F for 45 minutes. If you are making the day before allow to cool and place in refrigerator, and cook when needed.

Steps:

• In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and boil until tender.
• Drain and mash the potatoes with a masher.
• Slowly whisk the milk together with the potatoes, preferably with an electric whisk. Add more milk if the mash is to firm.
• Season with salt, pepper, sugar and nutmeg.
• Add the butter and whisk until melted.

Steps:

• Fry salt pork with onion in a skillet until the 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 the dough out onto the flour. Knead the flour on the work surface into the 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 the dumplings closed and roll in flour.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot. If desired, replace half the water with beef broth. Drop dumplings into the boiling water and broth and reduce heat to low. Simmer until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
