RECIPES

Sorry! I do not have a recipe for the Cabbage Bellies, or Patches or Kraut Burok, as it is a “science” to how much bread dough to make, how much hamburger and cabbage. Sandy will tell you off the top of her head! No written recipe that I can find at this time.

SUSIE’S POTATO-CABBAGE and SAUSAGE SUPER

Wash and slice (no need to peel)

2 large potatoes-Irish or Yukon gold

Fry in skillet with small amount of half butter-olive oil, until brown

Slice turkey sausage or turkey Kielbasa.

Fry until brown with potatoes

Add salt and pepper to taste

Add 1/2 head chopped cabbage

Fry slightly. Add 2 tbsp water.

Put lid on and let simmer and steam until

the cabbage is done to your liking.

Serve in a big bowl and pass the catsup!

POTATO DUMPLINGS

I looked a long time for this recipe! Good with gravy.

Sandy McClure calls this Kaduval and Glaze.

Boil:

Three pound of unpeeled potatoes and simmer until tender

Drain and chill overnight.

When ready to serve, bring a large kettle of water to boil

Peel cooked potatoes and grate into bowl:

Add:

3/4 cups flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup fine bread crumbs

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Pinch of pepper

Combine and mix with hand until well mixed. Shape into small one-inch balls and roll in flour.

Add the dumplings to the boiling water a little at a time so the water will keep boiling.

Simmer uncovered until the dumplings rise to the top, then let them boil 2 minutes longer.

Remove with slotted spoon to a warm serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley.

So good with chicken or roast beef or pot roast gravy. Also good with “gingersnap” gravy.
