Potato Balls (Kartoffelklosse)

From a
1902
cook book
`````````
.
Take 1 Qt. Potatoes,
peel and grate them,
then drain them through a coarse towel
so they are free from any water.
Next take 4 Boiled Potatoes
the size of an egg
and grate them to the raw ones,
mix with Salt,
and a little Nutmeg.
While making the balls
dip the hands in cold water,
and in the centre of each ball
put a couple of small pieces of Bread
which has been fried brown in Butter.
Then put them in boiling Salted Water
and let them boil for about 10 or 15 minutes.
.
They must be boiled as soon as made,
because they turn black if allowed to stand.
oooooo
.
Beef a la mode with Potato Balls
is a regular
German Dinner.
