1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Ham shank
4 Raw potatoes
2 Boiled potatoes
1 cup Whole wheat flour or graham flour
1 cup White flour
¼ teaspoon Baking powder
Salt and Pepper

Directions

This recipe comes from Helen Myhre's Cookbook "farm Recipes and Food Secrets" from the Norske Nook. The Norske Nook is the Midwest's #1 Roadside Cafe. If anyone ever travels close to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, this cafe is probably the world's best food! It is located in a tiny town called Osseo, Wisconsin. It is on the interstate highway going to and from Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

1. Boil the shank until done (when the meat loosens from the bone). Remove it from the liquid, and let cool. Save the liquid.

2. Remove the meat and some of the fatty part from the bone and put it through a grinder with the potatoes. Add the flours, baking powder, and salt and pepper, making sure there's enough flour to make a stiff dough.

3. Using your hands, roll into dumplings, drop into the ham liquid, and cook at a slow boil until done (about 1 hour). Serve the dumplings with butter on top.
