Low Fat Miniature Potato Dumplings with Sage and Chive

Makes 12 servings

1 pound potatoes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a little extra
1 teaspoon salt, plus a little extra to sprinkle on later
2 to 3 tablespoons skim milk
1 to 2 tablespoon margarine, or butter
dried rubbed sage
minced fresh chives, or freeze-dried

Boil the Potatoes in plenty of water until soft. Drain, and set aside until cool. When they are cool enough to comfortably handle, peel the potatoes with a sharp paring knife, and rice them with a ricer or the grating attachment of a food processor. You should have about 3 cups cooked, riced potatoes. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt to the potatoes. Mix first with a spoon and them with your hand to make a dough. Add the milk, a little at a time as needed, so the dough becomes soft and workable. You want it pliable but not sticky. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Meanwhile, lightly flour a clean, dry surface. Turn out the dough and push it together with your hands, but don't otherwise knead. Divide the dough in two and roll each piece until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Use a plain dinner knife to cut 1-inch squares (or diamonds, or triangles etc..). When the water boils, turn it down to a simmer and add as many pieces of dough as will fit with out crowding, They will soon rise to the surface of the simmering water. Cook them for about 3 minutes, then scoop them out with a strainer or a slotted spoon and put them on a plate. continue with another batch until all the dumplings are poached.

At this point they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat a large nonstick skillet and add about a tablespoon of margarine or butter. When it is melted, add as many dumplings as will comfortably fit in a single layer and sprinkle lightly with salt. Lower heat to medium and sauté the dumplings on one side for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with sage and chives and turn dumpling over. Sautés another 8-10 minutes, than transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve as soon as possible.
