Ok, ok, ok --- this is cheating in the cooking department, but its good cheating. (As in yummy) My quick cheaters Potato Dumplings (Great with anything...) Servings: 2-3 1/2 cup instant mashed potatos (who cares what brand, I dont) 1/2 cut HOT tap water 1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt (to taste, for me less is more) 1 egg 1/3 cup lightly packed flour Mix together the instant potato flakes and hot water and salt. Allow it to cool about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the egg and flour. Massage the dough until its not sticky anymore (less messy to start out with a spoon to mix it). Bring a medium to large sauce pan 3/4 full of water to a boil. Make dumplings by making meatball sized balls (approx. 3-4) or smaller ones if you want more dumplings smaller sized. Drop into the boiling water and let boil about 15-20 minutes (depending on size) until they float and bounce around and have enlarged noticeably. Remove from water and drain. Serve plain with parsley and lemon butter, or use to sop up juice, gravy, whatever. Im making mine tonight to go with some chicken and vegetable sukiyaki cuz Im kinda tired of rice right now.
