How to Make Collards & Corn Meal Dumplings w/ Potatoes Eastern NC style #southernrecipes #easternNC

This is a remake of my earlier video on how to prepare eastern North Carolina-style collards with corn meal dumplings, but this time I'm also adding potatoes. Enjoy!

Collards with corn meal dumplings is a very traditional dish here in eastern North Carolina. I learned to make it from my mother, who learned it from her mother. My grandmothers and great-grandmothers also made collards this way, served with corn meal dumplings and potatoes.

The collards we grow is Morris Heading, which is an heirloom variety that was developed in Scotland County, NC back in the 1930s by Elisha Morris and his son, Fairly Morris.

The ones I grow are from my mom's jar of seeds, but I did a quick search online and found this seed company sells them. https://www.seedsnsuch.com/product/morris-heading-collard-seeds/
