German Potato Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -6 medium potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
all-purpose flour, as needed

Preparation

Peel raw potatoes and grate finely.
Put potatoes in a bowl and press down on them while tipping bowl to pour off as much liquid as possible.
Stir in salt.
Add as much flour as needed to make a firm dough.
Have a pot of boiling water ready and drop in portions of dough with a tablespoon.
Boil gently, uncovered, until dumplings float.
Serve with onions which have been sauteed in butter until they are caramelized, poured over top of dumplings; or also good with sauerkraut.
You can also add some grated onion to the dumpling dough if you like (about a tablespoon).
Leftovers are good sliced and fried in butter.
