How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Peel the potatoes and let them cool, then put them through a potato presser or mincer.
|
2. Put on a floured pastry board and sprinkle the flour, semolina and salt over the top.
|
3. Make a hollow in the center and break the eggs into it; using first a knife and then the hands, combine the ingredients to make smooth dough.
|
4. Knead a little, but do not allow it to stand for long.
|
5. Form into 4 longish rolls or into dumplings the size of a large apple.
|
6. Put into a large pan of boiling salted water; when the water comes back to the boil take off the saucepan lid and if necessary ease the dumplings with a wooden spoon to free them from the bottom of the pan so that they are floating freely.
|
7. Cover the pan again and boil for about 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked throughout.
|
8. Remove from the water, draining well, and slice, using a strong linen thread, not a knife.
|
9. Put on a hot dish and brush over with a little melted lard to prevent them from sticking.
|
10. Serve with meat dishes.
