"These delicious potato dumplings have become a family tradition. Served with beef or pork roast, they are delicious with or without gravy. They are a little time-consuming but well worth the wait."

DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil.
Place potatoes in food processor, and pulse until finely chopped. Add eggs, and pulse a few times to combine. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Mix in enough flour to make a very thick dough.
Place dough by spoonfuls into boiling water. Boil until done, about 20 minutes (depending on size). Drain, and set dumplings aside.
Place chopped bacon and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook a few minutes until bacon releases fat. Place hot dumplings into pan; cook until bacon is crisp and onions and dumplings are browned.

I made these dumplings tonight for dinner with pork cutlets and peas and pearl onions. The dumplings were by far the star of the meal. I didn't think they were that hard to make, especially with a food processor. Once the potato and egg were mixed together it was really soupy. I was afraid I would need another potato, but I just kept adding flour until it was like bread dough and they came out great. I used four good sized pieces of bacon and buzzed those in the food processor to cut them into small pieces. It made the food processor very greasy, but it was a lot faster than cutting with scissors and the pieces were nice and small. It's definitely not low fat or low cal, but they taste great and are easy to make. I think you could come up with a good soup based off of these dumplings. Maybe a corn chowder with bacon dumplings, yum... I'll have to experiment.

I made these for dinner with a roast beef and veggie. The dumplings were very bland - I will try again, but will add seasoning to the 'dough'. I can see why one reviewer said she added too much flour - it would be helpful if the ingredients listed an approx amount of flour to use. I started with a 1/4 cup and kept adding 1/4 cups until I had put 1 1/4 cups of flour in. I also had far too much onion - I used a Vidalia and it ssems that 1/2 a large Vidalia is a lot more than 1/2 of a yellow onion. My husband asked me if I could add something to the recipe - he too thought they were bland.

WOW! I have made potato dumplings from a packaged mix for years. Every recipe I've tried just never seemed to measure up. No more premixed potato dumplings for us! These were perfect!

I just realized I messed this up! This was was NOT a success for me. Perhaps I added too much flour. The dumplings lacked flavor an turned out kind of chewy and lacking flavor.

These were great. I chopped the bacon and onion in the food processor too. I fried cabbage with the bacon and onion and then added the dumplings. Just to experiment, I added shredded cheddar and wrapped little bits of the whole mixture in won ton wrappers and fried them. VERY time consuming but delicious.

These are SO yummy and flavorful. Really not too difficult, just a little time consuming as mentioned. They're not exactly for someone on a low fat or "healthy" diet, but they're an excellent addition to any type of warm, home cooked meal.

Some of the dumpling fell apart while boiling. The ones that came out okay were very bland. Not worth the effort.

The dumplings were falling apart in the water until I added some baking powder to the batter (about 1 Tbs). They grow very much in size then, so if you add baking powder, make them very small. I found this recipe while trying to find a pierogi recipe. It was very good. I didn't chop the bacon but fried it in the skillet and crumbled it when done, no messy clean-up of the food processor. Since these are a relative of pierogis, you would probably do well by just sauteeing the onions and dumplings in butter. Boil the dumplings in a large kettle, not a pot. They need room to swim around in the boiling water.
