Sauerkraut and potato dumplings

==Description==
A great recipe I remember my Czech grandmother making. I played around with it until it tasted familiar 
===Ingredients===
* 2 lbs peeled potatoes 
* 1 teaspoon salt 
* 2 eggs 
* 3 cups instantized flour 
* 1/2 lb diced Ham 
* 1 teaspoon caraway seeds 
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
* 1 (32 ounces) jar sauerkraut 
* 1 cup sour cream (approximately) 
===Directions===
* Grate raw potatoes and drain. 
* Add salt, eggs, and flour to grated potatoes and mix well (mixture will be fairly solid). 
* Form dumplings into balls (desired size, I usually get about 20-25 good sized dumplings) and drop into boiling water. 
* Allow to cook for 8–10 minutes making sure they do not stick to bottom of pan. 
* Remove dumplings with a skimmer and set aside. 
* In a large pan heat approximately 6 tbsp oil over medium heat. 
* Add diced Ham, caraway seeds, and pepper and allow to cook 10 minutes. 
* Increase heat to high, add sauerkraut (drain about half the juice before adding) and mix well with Ham. 
* Allow this to cook for about 20 minutes stirring often. 
* Add sour cream (the amount can definately be adjusted to your taste) and mix well until creamy. 
* Reduce heat to low, add dumplings and cover. 
* Cook for 20–30 minutes stirring periodically.
