Steps:

• Heat whipping cream in a heavy-bottomed kettle over medium heat, until it comes to a simmer. Whisk in about half of the flour, one tablespoon at a time. Try to whisk out any clumps of flour. As the mixture cooks, some butter will begin to seep out. Pour this butter into a dish and use when you are ready to serve. My batch yielded just over a tablespoon of butter.
• Whisk in the remaining flour. Slowly whisk in the warm milk. Whisk out any remaining lumps of flour. Add sugar. Cook for a few minutes, until pudding is thick.
• Serve warm or chilled, topped with cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter.

Steps:

• Prepare mixture: Place grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and mix with your hands (I find this is the easiest way given the thick, heavy batter). Add 1 cup of flour - and then keep adding flour until the potato mixture sticks together. This was about 2 cups when I made it.
• Form into balls: Take about 1/2 cup of the potato mixture. Place piece of pork chop in the middle and form into a ball. Repeat until all of the potatoes have been used.
• Cook dumplings: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potato dumplings one at a time. Cook for 30 minutes in simmering water. At 30 minutes, take one dumpling out and test to see if the meat inside is cooked. If not, cook for a little longer. My batch took 30 minutes.
• Serving: Serve hot, topped with melted butter, salt and pepper, and parsley and/or chopped green onion.
