Dumplings made from boiled potatoes, a recipe I know from my grandmother
Place the potatoes in water and boil until the skins crack open slightly. Then drain, peel, and press through a potato ricer while still hot. In a large bowl, combine the semolina and cornstarch, eggs, and salt, vigorously mixing until a smooth, firm dough forms. Cut the bread rolls into cubes called “Backerle” and fry in butter. With wet hands, form dumplings and press the “Backerle” into the center. Slide all the dumplings into the boiling water and simmer at low heat for about 30 minutes. CAUTION! Do not cover, or they will overcook! “Baumwollna” is especially good with sauerbraten and game dishes.
