Ingredients:

4 medium-sized potatoes, diced into very small pieces

water

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup flour

1 egg, slightly beaten

2 cups milk

1 cup cream

salt

crumbled crisp bacon

Directions:

1. Put the diced potatoes in a large saucepan and just barely cover with water. Cook diced potatoes in water until soft. Add butter and milk.

2. Meanwhile, to make rivels, combine flour and egg in a bowl. Drop rivels, which are no larger than a raisin, into the boiling potato mixture, while periodically stirring to prevent the rivels from sticking together.

3. Cook 5 minutes. Add cream and salt to taste; reheat until hot. Put into serving bowls and garnish with bacon. 4 servings

Bon Appetit!
