Berks County Potato Dumplings

6 uncooked potatoes
10 slices bread
Salt and pepper to season
1 onion, grated
1 teaspoon minced parsley
2 eggs, well beaten

Pare potatoes and grate.  Soak bread in cold water and squeeze out as much of the water as possible.  Mix together bread, salt, pepper, grated onion and parsley.  Add grated potatoes and eggs; mix well.  Form into balls, roll in flour gently; drop into boiling salted water, cover closely and cook for 15 minutes.  These dumplings are excellent with sauerkraut, stewed chicken or meat.  Serves 6.

With Hominy Grits (Farina) - Omit bread.  Prepare potatoes as above, place in a cloth and squeeze as dry as possible.  Add 2 cups hot cooked hominy grits.
