Ingredients

9 mediums Potatoes

1 teaspoon Salt

3 Eggs, beaten

1 cup Flour

2/3 cup Bread crumbs or farina

1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

1 cup Butter or fat

1/4 cup Bread crumbs

2 tablespoons Chopped onions

Preparation

Boil potatoes with jackets until soft. Put through a ricer into a bowl with salt, eggs, flour, 2/3 cup bread crumbs and nutmeg. Form into dry balls the size of walnuts. (If mixture is too moist, add more bread crumbs.)

Drop balls into boiling salted water. When balls come to surface, allow to boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Remove 1 and cut open. If center dry, they're done.

Remove the rest from water to a hot platter and pour over them the following dressing: browned onions and 1/4 cup bread crumbs in butter. (May substitute mushrooms for onion.)
