How to Make Potato Dumplings

Potato dumplings are an Eastern European dish. They're ideal for winter food when you need warming up and comfort food.

EditIngredients

• 2 eggs (egg replacer will also work, follow the instructions on the package)
• 2 cups of flour, + flour for rolling dough
• 1 tablespoon of salt, + extra 1/2 teaspoon salt for water
• 1.3-1.8kg, 3 1/2 to 4 lbs potatoes, boiled
• Large kettle of boiling water (for cooking the dumplings)

EditSteps

1. Place the eggs, flour and tablespoon of salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the mashed potatoes until combined and a dough is created.
   
   • If you find the mashed potatoes are too moist, add some more flour.
     
2. Take the dough out of the bowl and place on a floured board. Roll to an even thickness.
   
3. Cut into about 12 to 15 dumplings.
   
4. Pour the boiling water into the saucepan and place on high heat. Add the potato dumplings and boil for about 6-8 minutes.
   
5. Drain the water and gently remove the dumplings. Serve either in a sauce or as they are with other accompaniments. They're fairly bland, so they are best served as part of a food such as a stew or added to soup.
   
   • If serving as they are, add fresh chopped herbs and a little butter or oil to improve the taste.
