How to Make 1898 Potato Dumplings

  1. Poach 1 lb of potatoes until tender. (While potatoes are poaching, clean up from dinner.)

  3. Add 1/2 cup finely diced leftover smoked ham (unsalted, adjust salt accordingly).
  4. Incorporate 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions.
  5. Stir in 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
  6. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper (adjust to taste).
  7. Mix in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Form the mixture into small, flat cakes (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  9. Wrap the potato cakes tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days).
  10. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  11. Carefully fry the potato cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite chili-garlic sauce.
