Haluski

Brown sauerkraut in butter, slowly. (you may optionally add sliced onion to this.) Set aside. Boil 3 potatoes, cool, peel and cube. Set aside. Grate 3 uncooked potatoes. Add 2 eggs, salt and pepper. Add enough flour to make mixture very thick. Bring large pot water to boil. Put potato/flour mixture on large dinner plate. With a small teaspoon, dip in boiling water and section small pieces of from plate and drop into water, stirring occasionally. Dip spoon in water frequently to keep from sticking. Boil until dumplings rise to top. (This only takes a few minutes.) Drain. Fry bacon and crumble. Reserve drippings. Mix in large bowl: cubed potatoes; sauerkraut; dumplings; bacon and drippings. I add lots of freshly ground pepper to the final product. Note: amounts of sauerkraut, bacon, drippings can be adjusted to personal taste.
