POTATO DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
• Add the potatoes, cheese and sour cream to a small bowl and mix, then set aside.
• Working one at a time, lay out a wonton wrapper and use your finger to dampen the edge of the wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mix in the center of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, sealing the edges and pushing out as much air as possible. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Drop the dumplings into the salted water and cook until they rise to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the dumplings are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, allowing it to boil and reduce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and remaining 5 tablespoons butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and you have a glossy sauce. Serve immediately garnished with more parsley.

DUMPLING SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Crack the egg into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup. Whisk with a fork. Gradually stir the egg-water and oil into the flour mixture with the fork until a soft dough is formed. Use your hands to mix the dough until is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the bowl, and set aside until the potatoes are ready.
• Place potatoes in a large pot with the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion; cook and stir until onions are golden and bacon is cooked. Set aside.
• When the potatoes are cooked, pinch off small pieces of the dough, and drop them into the boiling potato water. Turning the dough in your hand will help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Once all of the dumplings have been added, you can stir in the bacon and onions. Ladle some of the water from the soup into the skillet, and swish it around to clean out all of the tasty bits and juices. Pour back into the soup. Turn off the soup, and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

POTATO SOUP WITH DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot put potatoes, celery, and onions with enough water to just cover vegetables. Bring water to boil and cook just until vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• 2. Do not drain vegetables! Add the milk to veggies in pot and lower temp. to medium. You just want the soup to bubble at this point. Add the butter and thicken with the cornstarch and water until smooth. Check the broth and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
• 3. Put the whipped eggs, and onion powder, salt and pepper, and dried parsley in a bowl. I also add several spoons of water at this point as well. Mix all together.
• 4. Mix flour and baking powder and start adding to your egg mixture. Put in about 1/3 and whisk with the fork, it will be pretty wet at first but keep adding the flour mixture until it completely pulls away from side of bowl and sticks to fork tines.
• 5. Go to the soup pot and using a spoon - dipped in broth first - drop by spoonfuls onto top of soup until the bowl is empty. If there is "loose" flour in the bowl, just dump that in too as it will help to thicken the broth. Put the lid on the pot and DO NOT peek or remove lid for 12 minutes! Make sure the broth was just bubbling when you add the dumpling mix. You do not want the pot to boil over... I have done that and cleaning up the stove will make me very angry... :)
• 6. When you remove the lid, you should see a lot of little dumplings floating around on top. If you want it still thicker, just add more of the cornstarch/water. I also put in a couple more TBLS of butter.
• 7. We like this with a small salad to start and a French baguette with some more butter. Like Paula Deen says "ya'll can't ever have too much butter".
