Potato dumplings (sinkers)

My grandfather used to make potato dumplings he called sinkers. He would use potatoes, flour, baking powder, salted water, but would make them softball size when boiling, cut them into smaller pieces and then fry them in lard. Is there a recipe with exact amounts on the ingredients, or do you just guess at the consistency before putting into the water?

I think this is what you are looking for????
4 large potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
1.Heat a large pot of water to boiling.
2.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.
3.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.
4.Drain in colander. Rinse with hot water. Serve with gravy or melted butter.
