Kluski (Polish Potato Dumplings)

1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp melted butter 
1 egg
1/3 cup all purpose flour (may need a little more)

Beat potatoes with salt, butter, egg. Add in flour gradually to make a soft dough. Use a tablespoon to scoop about a tablespoon of dough into a half moon shape and drop into boiling salted water, tapping on side of pot if necessary. When the dumplings rise to surface, allow to cook about a minute. Use slotted spoon to remove to a buttered plate. Add to soup or stew instead of noodles or add butter and garnish as desired for a side dish. Can also be sprinkled with bacon or cheese.

German and Polish dumplings are very similar.  All are delicious comfort food.
