Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes until just tender.
- Bring a large pan of water with a pinch of salt to a boil.
- Coarsely mash the cooked potatoes and grate one large onion into the mashed potatoes.
- Add one egg, a pinch of salt, chopped parsley (if desired), and mix with a fork.
- Gradually add flour until the mixture becomes stiff and workable.
- Shape the mixture into dumplings and cook them in boiling water until they float to the surface.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the potato mixture. If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure not to over-mash the potatoes; a coarse texture helps the dumplings hold their shape. If you like herbs, chopped chives or dill can enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the dumplings hot with a drizzle of melted butter and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. They pair wonderfully with a side of sautéed vegetables or a light salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside roasted meats or a rich gravy. They also complement dishes like Quick Fried Rice for a delightful fusion.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently simmer them in boiling water for a few minutes until heated through, or pan-fry them for a crispy texture. Avoid freezing, as the dumplings may become mushy when thawed.
