Herbed Potatoe Dumplings Recipe

Prep: 20 Minutes
Cook: 30 Minutes
Recipe Makes: 6 Servings

Ingredients You Will Need:
1 Egg; lightly beaten
3/4 Cup of Seasoned Dry Bread Crumbs
1 Tbsp. of All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. of Minced Fresh Parsley
1 Tbsp. of Minced Chives
1 1/2 Tsp. of Minced Fresh Thyme or 1/2 Tsp. of Dried Thyme
1/2 Tsp. of Salt
2 1/2 Cups of Finely Shredded Uncooked Potatoes
Additional All-Purpose Flour, may be needed

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients. Stir in potatoes. Shape into 1 1/2 in. balls; dust with flour.

2. Drop dumplings on top of a simmering soup or stew of your choice. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 30 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through. Serve immediately.

Tips!
1. Give them space. Leave some wiggle room between dumplings. Steaming broth swells the dough as it cooks.

2. Simmer down. Maintain a slow, steady heat. After an initial boil, a gentle simmer produces the most tender (and fluffiest) results.

3. Don't peek. Lifting the lid lets steam escape and adds to the cooking time.

4. Mind the time. Set a timer to avoid overcooking delicate dumplings. As soon as a toothpick comes out clean, they're ready.

5. Pull them out. Refrigerate leftover dumplings and soup separately. Otherwise, dumplings may absorb too much liquid and turn mushy.
