Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups starchy potatoes (e.g., Russets), peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before mashing until smooth.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, egg, and salt. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Flour your hands and shape the dough into golf ball-sized dumplings.
  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Carefully drop in dumplings; they are ready when they float to the surface (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Optional: Drizzle with melted butter before serving.

Keywords: Use starchy potatoes for fluffier dumplings. Allow dough to rest for improved texture. Experiment with fillings like herbs or sautéed mushrooms for added flavor.
