9 med. size potatoes
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs, well beaten
1 c. flour
2/3 c. fine dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 c. butter
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 to 2 tbsp. chopped onion

Scrub potatoes and cook in their jackets until soft. Remove the skins and put potatoes through a ricer into a bowl. Thoroughly mix in the salt, eggs, flour, 2/3 cup bread crumbs, and nutmeg. Form mixture into balls (if mixture is too moist, add more bread crumbs). Drop the balls into boiling salted water. When balls come to the surface, allow them to boil for 3 minutes. Remove one from liquid and cut open; if center is dry, they are sufficiently cooked. Remove from liquid to hot platter and pour over them a dressing made as follows: brown the butter in a skillet; add the 1/2 cup bread crumbs and onion. Cook for several minutes. 12 to 14 servings.
