Grate potatoes, onions, garlic, add salt and pepper, eggs and flour. Add a
little water (about 1/4 - 1/2 c ) if dough is too stiff. Drop small portions

Combine cooked potato dumplings, crumbled bacon, browned cabbage and onions. Add
a little more butter, if needed, if it appears too dry. Season to taste. Best if
served immediately.
