Comforting Pennsylvania Dutch Ham Pot Pie Recipe...Chunks of tender ham, potatoes, and homemade pot pie noodles all in a savory broth. If you are from pennsylvania dutch country you know what this is! Inside out potpie!
In a large pot place ham and enough water to cover the ham. Boil a good 1-2 hours to make a deep broth. Remove ham. Strain broth and return to pot. Shred ham or cut into bite sized pieces.
Peel and cube potatoes into 2-inch pieces. Add the potatoes and chopped onion (if you are adding onion) to ham broth. While potatoes are simmering over medium heat, make your pot pie noodles.
In a medium bowl add the flour and salt. add 1/2 the water and mix until crumbly. Continue adding water until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the water or you may need to add additional water.
Sprinkle flour on your work surface. On your floured surfaced roll dough out 1/8-1/4 inch thick depending on how thick you want your noodles....I say the thicker the better!
Add the cooked ham to the pot and turn pot to medium high. You want the broth boiling before you add the pot pie noodles. Drop the noodles in separately you don't want to add them all at once or you will have one big dough ball. Stir frequently while adding noodles. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer 15-20 minutes.
Top with fresh chopped green onion or sweet onion and parsley if desired.
