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 (like Wondra)
* ½ lb diced ham
* 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
* ½ 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 definitely 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.
