Knoedel

Like all foods normally containing flour, these dumplings are made with matzo meal at Passover in obedience to the Biblical rule against eating leavened bread.

1tablespoon chicken fat
2eggs
1 ¼cups matzo meal
½ - ¾cup mashed potatoes
2tablespoons parsley, chopped
¼teaspoon ginger
teaspoons salt
¼teaspoon pepper

Beat chicken fat until white. Mix well with eggs. Add meal and potato, and enough lukewarm water to make a thick but workable mixture. Stir in the parsley, ginger, salt, and pepper, then form small balls the size of marbles and drop them into boiling soup. Boil for about 15 minutes.
