I thought these were OK, but my husband who rarely says "don't make again," just didn't like them. I think part of the problem was that he was comparing them to a family favorite made for years as a side to our sauerbraten meal. We just call that recipe potato balls, and this really is a dumpling. That being said, they were enjoyed more as leftovers browned in a skillet with some butter. Also, the recipe says "baked potatoes" in the ingredient listing, but the instructions says "...boil potatoes..." I boiled them and chilled before ricing.

Thanks so much for this recipe. My Grandmother from Poland made this for us for years. She served them with stewed beef. I can't wait to make this as I have been looking for this recipe for 3 years. The best was to slice the leftovers and fry in butter. serve with fried egg, we loved this as kid. will try the recipe and get back to you.

Disappointed! Had leftover potatoes to use and stumbled upon this recipe my husbands granny used to make. The only change I made was to insert a crouton in the middle. Its very easy to make but found this stuff too eggy and not the right texture.

Boy! our grandmas must have known each other...we only got these when we had a pork AND veal roast(cooked together w/ onions & s&p-because that made the best ever gravy) and that gravy over dumplings was beyond wonderful. Actually tho, I couldn't wait for the fried leftovers...pretty close to pierogis!!!

This recipe brings back many memories! My grandmother used to make these and in the water which she boiled them in, she used a salty and spicy hungarian sausage from a local meat market along with some diced onion. Oh and the next day, it was first come first serve for the left overs! She used to role them in corn flake crumbs and fry them. Delicious!!! thanks for posting this...I hadn't made them in years and have lost the recipe. LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!!

I learned this recipe from my Dad, who called it "glasen" and served it as a side dish with saurbraten and red cabbage. Those who thought this was bland should recognize it's value as a side dish served with other german dishes to provide a wonderful combination of flavors. And, yes it's also a quick next day breakfast dish sliced thin and fried in butter with onions, bacon bits, and mushrooms then covered in shredded cheese.

This was all right, but I found that by adding a fourth a cup of fish sauce and two tablespoons of chili powder, the flavor was greatly enhanced.

This recipe (as written) is DELICIOUS. Except I have to admit, I am a DUMPLING ADDICT. Therefore, I am continuously "on the hunt" for a perfect dumpling. To this end, I'd suggest adding more spice and herb to the basic recipe (my choices: dried garlic, parsley, basil, oregano and cayenne pepper). I've also been known to add shredded carrots, bell peppers (choose your color) and/or zucchini (green or yellow) to the "mix". My advice: cook (stew or boil) your chicken first (along with all of the requisite vegetables). Set it aside and THEN (given the broth it's generated), drop your dumplings. Serve topped with cheese (my preferences: parmesan, velveeta and/or swiss) and you've got a wonderfully "comfortable" mid-afternoon snack, sidedish or (dare I suggest?!) dinnertime main meal.
