Kroppkakor (Filled Dumplings)

Ingredients for 4 - 6 servings
10 medium-sized potatoes
2-3 egg yolks
150g flour
1tsp salt
1 onion
200g salt pork
2tsp cracked allspice

Preparation
Peel and boil the potatoes, mash them and mix with the egg yolks and salt. Let the puree cool, then mi in the flour.  Knead the dough thoroughly and shape into a roll. Chop the pork into small cubes and dice the onion.  Fry the pork and onion quickly and mix with the allspice.
Cut the potato roll into 2cm thick slices, make a depression in the middle of each slice and fill with the pork mixture.  Flatten each dumpling so the pork mixture is in the middle and roll into a smooth, even ball. Boil the dumplings slowly in a pot of lightly salted water without a lid for 5-6 minutes after the dumplings rise to the surface
