Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of starchy potatoes
  • 1 cup potato starch
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • Breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot of cold salted water.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until they're tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Mash them until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Let the mashed potatoes cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, potato starch, flour, salt, and the egg. Mix until it forms a soft dough. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
  5. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. If you're adding breadcrumbs, make a small indentation, fill it with breadcrumbs, and then seal it back into a ball.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the water, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook them for about 15 minutes or until they float to the top.
  7. Once cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your choice of sauce or gravy.

Nutrition

Keywords: Stick to starchy potatoes for the best texture. If the dough feels too soft to handle, let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before shaping. Keep an eye on the dumplings while they cook to avoid overboiling.
