Passover Potato Dumplings

coconutty's Note:

In our family, one of these potato dumplings would occupy the "karpas" (parsley) position on the Seder Plate. There would also be a bowl of potato dumplings on the table, and every guest would eat one at the appropriate point during the Seder. As kids, we would also snitch as many as possible at every available opportunity, and if any were left over, they could be served in chicken soup.
