Prune Dumplings (Greta Moster, Nirelle’s Mom)

Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes
1 handful finest tapioca
3 handfuls flour
1 egg
prunes or apricots
Sugar cubes
cinnamon

Directions
Potatoes, tapioca, flour and egg when all mixed up can be formed around a fresh prune or apricot in which you have cleverly secreted a cube of sugar and some cinnamon, having removed the pit first of course. Also it helps to cook the potatoes first. So once you have managed to make those balls of goo slip them into boiling water. But do not over cook please. After they have cooled down some folks roll them in toasted sugared breadcrumbs or place them under a broiler to brown the bread crumbs or something like that.
