Kumpe fra Agder

Kumpe fra Agder are traditional Norwegian dumplings originating from the region of Aust-Agder. The dumplings are usually made with a combination of potatoes, flour, salt, and bacon or suet. The potatoes are grated, and most of the liquid is drained. They're mixed with all-purpose or barley flour until the dough becomes firm. The dough is seasoned with salt, shaped into small oblong or round dumplings, and a piece of suet or bacon is then pressed in the center of each dumpling. The dumplings are boiled in water and either served warm or left to cool down, then sliced and fried in bacon drippings.
