CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
8 ounces salt pork (or ham)
5 pounds potatoes, peeled and finely grated
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
4 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
Directions:
Place the salt pork in a large Dutch oven filled with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the salt pork has rendered the fat out. Remove the salt pork. Keep the water at a strong simmer.
Finely chop the salt pork and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, garlic, salt, and flour. Mix well until it becomes a doughy mixture (squeeze the potatoes to get them to release their liquid to form the dough).
Stir the salt pork into the potato mixture. Form the dough into balls. Turn the heat up to high and bring the water to a boil. Add the potato balls to the boiling liquid. Let the liquid simmer for 1 hour or until the potato balls start to float.
Remove the potato balls from the liquid and serve warm with butter.
