3 tbsp. butter
3 cups flour
2 cups cooked, mashed, sieved potatoes
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
plums, washed and dried

Cut butter into the flour until as fine as cornmeal. Add mashed potatoes, eggs, and salt, mixing until smooth. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 3 to 4-inch squares. Place a plum on each piece and carefully and completely surround with dough. Gently put a few at a time into boiling water, not allowing the water to boil too vigorously. Cook about 15 minutes. Check often while cooking.

Note: These may be steamed instead, if desired.

Serve with melted butter, sugar and cinnamon, or even a little cottage cheese. Some people like them with buttered and browned bread crumbs.
