Serves 6.

Pare and cut up 6 large potatoes. Cover and boil until tender in 1 1/2 cups boiling water and 3/4 teaspoons salt. Drain and save liquid. Mash potatoes until free from lumps. Cover and let stand until thoroughly cold. This should be 4 cups of mashed potatoes.

When cold, add:

1 slightly beaten egg
2 tbsp. Pet milk

You can substitute another egg instead of the milk. Mix well. Stir in gradually a mixture of:

3/4 c. sifted flour
3/4 tsp. salt

Turn onto a board covered with waxed paper and shape into a roll 2 inches across and cut into 2-inch slices. With floured fingers, roll slices into balls.

Drop one-at-a-time into 3 quarts boiling water, 3 teaspoons salt. Boil until firm (about 3 minutes) until dumplings begins to float. Drain well.
