Married - a recipe from grandma
"Married" are potatoes and dumplings cooked together in a pot. For two portions you need:
2-3 thick potatoes
250 g flour
2-3 eggs
1/8 l of water or milk (with water, the dumplings are looser)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or a little more, to taste)
some nutmeg
a piece of fat bacon
From flour, eggs, water (or milk), salt and nutmeg stir a thick dough (not too thin, should be about as for spaetzle, if necessary, take a little more flour) and let rest a little.
In the meantime, peel the potatoes and cut into chopsticks (as for French fries) and boil in a LARGE pot of salted water for 10 minutes. Then cut off dumplings with a tablespoon of the dough (this is best if you dip the spoon briefly into the boiling water before the dough is beaten) and add it to the potatoes in the boiling water (gently move the spoon back and forth in the water, then loosen the dumplings are off). After a few minutes, when all the dumplings float up, it's done.
You pour the "married people" and set them up on a plate. Then you give the exuberant fat bacon over it. The bacon cubes should be cut as small as possible before skipping, so they are really "noisy". As a side dish to taste very good pears from the tin.
