Directions:
Make the dumpling mixture: Cook potatoes in skins by boiling in salted water until fork tender. Drain, cool and peel. Force through a potato ricer or finely mash. Mound potatoes in a large bowl, then make a depression in the center so that it looks like a volcano. Pour salt, unbeaten eggs and farina into the center. Mix with a fork until well blended. Work in the flour a little at a time, then begin kneading until mixture holds together like bread dough. (It'll stick to your hands, but will hold its own shape well and is resilient. If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of flour to achieve firm but tender dough.)

Shape, cook the dumplings: Bring a large pan of water to a rolling boil (salted if desired). Meanwhile, form dumpling mixture into a roll about 2 inches thick, then cut into 2 -in pieces; move these to a lightly floured surface. Drop one dumpling into the water; cover and boil for 10 min. If the test dumpling holds together, add the rest of the dumplings; cover and cook for 20 min without lifting lid. When dumplings float to the surface, remove one with slotted spoon and check for doneness by cutting it in half with a thread. If the center is wet and doughy, cook longer. Continue testing every few minutes or so. Remove cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and brush dumplings with melted butter to prevent sticking.
