Potatoe Dumplings with Ground Beef

Decided to make one of my moms old time Austrian recipes ...

it consists of a couple of grated cooked cold potatoes ...

flour, salt, baking powder, and an egg ...

mixed into a soft dough ...

cutting into sections and hand rolling into a small disc ...

fill with a mixture of cooked ground beef, onions & garlic ...

place a spoonful in the centre of the disc...

pinch the edges together ...

then form into a ball ... 

Drop them into a pot of boiling salted water ...

let them cook about 10 - 15 min ...

in the meantime heat up a can of sauerkraut ...

the dumplings should be done ...

when they are big and fluffy ...

Ready to serve ...

with some fresh vegetables ...

sure brought back some pleasant memories ...

of our family time together ...

(sorry kids ... I will make some the next time you come home ...)
