Swedish Potato Dumplings
Ingredients
  • 1/4 pound salt pork, cubed
  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 gallon water, or as needed
  • 2 (32 fluid ounce) containers beef broth
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook salt pork until it's nicely browned, approximately 10 minutes. Remove excess fat from the pan and set aside salt pork along with onion mixture.
2
Combine mashed potatoes, egg, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl; stir 1 cup flour into the potato mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup flour onto a clean surface and turn dough out onto the surface. Knead the dough on the surface until it's well combined.
3
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball, dusting your hands with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Use your thumb to create an indentation in each dumpling and fill it with a small amount of salt pork-onion mixture. Fold the dough over to seal the dumpling and roll it in flour.
4
Place water in a large pot and bring it to a boil. If desired, replace half of the water with beef broth. Gently drop dumplings into the boiling water and broth; reduce heat to low. Simmer until cooked through, approximately 25 minutes. Drain the dumplings and transfer them to a serving dish.
