CZECH POTATO DUMPLINGS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine mashed potatoes, eggs and salt. Add enough flour to form a stiff dough. It will be a little sticky.
- Place a large saucepan of water on to boil. Meanwhile, with floured hands, shape the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Cook 10 dumplings at a time by dropping into the boiling water. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for about 12 minutes or until dumplings rise to the surface and test done when pulled apart with two forks. Drain in a colander or on a clean kitchen towel.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, combine butter with breadcrumbs and cook until golden brown and crisp. Roll dumplings in this mixture and serve immediately. Note: Instead of coating the dumplings in buttered breadcrumbs, they can be placed in a roasting pan and glazed with meat drippings from a pork, beef, lamb or veal roast, or roasted chicken .

Steps:
- MAKE AHEAD: Boil the potatoes with the skin on the day before and let them cool completely overnight. Before preparing the potato dough, put a pot of lightly salted water on the stove to boil.
- Peel the cooled potatoes and grate finely on a hand grater. Add the flour, potato starch, egg, and salt.
- Process the ingredients into potato dough. Keep some flour aside so you can dip your hands in it if the dough gets too sticky.
- Divide the dough into equal parts. Roll out each on a floured work surface into a 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) thick cylinder. The length of the cylinder is determined by the diameter of the pot in which you will cook the dumplings. It is usually in the range of 8-10 inches (20-25 cm).
- Put the prepared dumplings immediately into slightly boiling water. Check after a while. If they have stuck to the bottom, use a fork to loosen them to swim carefully.
- Cook the dumplings for 20-25 minutes.
- After cooking, carefully remove the dumplings from the pot. If you do not serve the dumplings immediately, brush them with a little melted lard to prevent the surface from drying out.

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.
POTATO DUMPLINGS
Good to use with stews or soups. When I was growing up we had these with sauerbraten. I don't know why there's always a crouton in the center, there just is.

- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth. Lumps will make the dumplings tough.

- Form the dumplings into balls. You can use a spoon or your hands to do this.
- Cook the dumplings in boiling water until they float to the top. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite sauce or gravy.
