Instructions

  1. These are cousins to the potato egg puffs, but richer — they will serve indeed for the meat course of a plain dinner.
  2. Mix the potato well with half its bulk of finely chopped cold meat, the leaner the better.
  3. Bind with beaten eggs, then divide and roll each portion around a hard-boiled egg.
  4. Lay the dumplings in a greased and floured pan, giving them plenty of room.
  5. Pour around them a good gravy, or else a rich tomato sauce.
  6. Then bake ten to twenty minutes in a hot oven.
