I WAS ASKED BY ONE OF THE GALS IN GROUPS IF I WOULD POST THIS AS IT SEEMED TO HER IT WAS A LOT LIKE HER GRANDMOTHER USED TO MAKE. I don't know where I got this recipe, my Great-GrandMother was Dutch German, (German Dutch however it goes), so I belong to a German web site...it may have come from their. She was a Quaker.... She used to make these dumplings also, and passed it down...I never ended up with her written recipe. Although it a Polish recipe....the German and Polish have a lot of the same recipes just may be named a little different. She is the same Great-GrandMother that my 'Potato Candy' Recipe came from. ANYWAY...This recipe for Polish drop potato dumplings (kartoflane kluski) uses raw, grated potatoes instead of mashed potatoes as this potato dumpling recipe does. These dumplings couldn't be easier, no rolling or cutting. The slack or loose dough is dropped into the water by spoonfuls and boiled until tender. And there are no eggs in the recipe. P.S. THESE ARE NOT MY PHOTOS, THEY ARE BORROWED.
