Norwegian Potato Dumplings (Potet Klub)

Ingredients:

1 ham shank

4 raw potatoes

2 boiled potatoes

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup white flour

1/4 tsp. baking powder

Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions:

Boil the ham shank until done (when meat is loose on bone). Remove it from the liquid and let it cool. Save the liquid. Remove the meat and some of the fat from the bone and put it through a grinder with the potatoes. Add the flours, baking powder, and salt and pepper. Be sure there's enough flour to make a stiff dough. Using your hands, roll into dumplings, drop into the ham liquid, and cook at a slow boil until done (about 1 hour). Serve the dumplings with butter on top.
