Peach Potato Dumplings


This is a really refreshing dumpling. We would have them as a summer meal. The could be a desert. This is something my grand mother used to make us. Found this recipe on another site (by bettiann) altered little to the way we used to make them.

Steps


Cook potatoes over medium heat until tender.
Drain , then put through ricer or mash.
Place the riced potatoes onto a large clean work surface.
Crack the egg over the top.
Start to gradually add the flour and work in by hand making a nice stiff dough.
You may not need all the flour or may need to add a little more it takes a while to work flour inches.
Let the dough rest for a minute before rolling.
Take half the dough and roll the dough out to 1 / 4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 8x8 inch squares- larger or smaller depending on the size of your peaches.
Repeat the same with the other half of dough.
Wrap each peach in a square of dough.
Make sure all the seams are sealed by pinching them.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Place the peach dumplings into the water 3 to 4 peaches per pot.
