Egg Dumplings
Origin: Clarksville, Tennessee
Source: Martha McCulloch-Williams, 1913
Ingredients
- potato
- cold meat, finely chopped
- eggs, beaten
- hard-boiled eggs
- good gravy or rich tomato sauce
Instructions
- These are cousins to the potato egg puffs, but richer — they will serve indeed for the meat course of a plain dinner.
- Mix the potato well with half its bulk of finely chopped cold meat, the leaner the better.
- Bind with beaten eggs, then divide and roll each portion around a hard-boiled egg.
- Lay the dumplings in a greased and floured pan, giving them plenty of room.
- Pour around them a good gravy, or else a rich tomato sauce.
- Then bake ten to twenty minutes in a hot oven.
