Potato Dumplings recipe
information
Dumplings are popular throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Although they can still be eaten in the homes of German Jewish immigrants, their popularity is waning in America. This is a pity, because they are delicious and original. To vary the flavor, add a tablespoon of caraway seeds to the dumpling mixture.
