Cholent Preparation

Peel and slice each potato into four. Place into a heavy pot. Wash beans well and add to potatoes. Fill heavy saucepan 2/3 with water. Add sliced onion, fried onion, salt, and pepper. Cover. Bring to the boil. When boiling stir in dumplings, cover and reduce heat, and simmer on low heat or in the oven until the next day.

Dumpling preparation
