Mary. If you printed out my mother-in-law's directions
for preparing the basic grated potato you are half way
there to Bulviniai Cepelinai Kukuliai, or as we say
Klatskas. This recipe comes from the Nationality Rooms
Cookbook, U of Pittsburgh. The potato mixture : Grate
potatoes into cheese cloth (the cotton flour bag works
better) and squeeze until almost dry, reserve liquid.
starch will settle out. Add egg, flour and some of the
starch to potatoes and mix well. Form into 8 round
balls and set aside. Mix meat with onion and egg and
form into 8 balls. Flatten the potato balls and place
meat in center and form the dough around the meat into
the shape of zeppelins. Boil in a large kettle of
4-6qts salted water for 30 minutes. Caution: For 40
years, mine fell apart, because I couldn't use flour
My husband said his mother never used it. So don't be
surprised if they don't hold together! I also prefer
to cook my meat mixture first! Sauce: Chop bacon and
fry, drain and saute onions. Add sour cream, heat and
serve over the zeppelins. I have not used the starch,
I have heard of farina or cream of wheat substituted
for flour. A tremendous relief to be able to serve
these after years of failure. Hope your husband will
be surprised. He should like the Kuglis too, on the
original bulletin. That is much easier.
