• Saute the bacon in a medium-size skillet over medium heat until it renders its fat.
• Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet.
• Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until deeply colored, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Grate the potatoes coarsely by hand or in a food processor using a coarse grating blade.
• Wash in several changes of water.
• Squeeze the potatoes well in a clean linen or cotton kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible.

• Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Gently fold into the potato mixture, using a rubber spatula.
• Carefully transfer the mixture to a well-buttered round 10-inch baking dish or heavy oven proof skillet.
• Dot the top with butter.
• Bake until the top is browned and crispy and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Serves 6 to 8.

Steps:

• Heat a large pot of water to boiling.
• Peel potatoes, and keep submerged in cold water to prevent browning. Grate potatoes, by hand or with a food processor, into a large bowl. Drain any excess water. Stir in flour and salt. With a teaspoon, form a test dumpling. If it doesn't hold together, Stir in more flour.
• Form dumplings with a teaspoon, and gently drop into boiling water. Allow dumplings to float freely. Gently stir with wooden spoon so dumplings don't stick together. Reduce heat to slow boil. Boil for 40 minutes.
• Drain in colander. Rinse with hot water. Serve with gravy or melted butter.
