Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil the potato until tender and mash it.
- Add the egg and chicken broth to the mashed potato and mix well.
- Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough and cut into 2-inch strips.
- Drop the dumplings into boiling chicken broth and cook until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding herbs like parsley or chives to the dough. If you're out of chicken broth, vegetable broth or even water can work as a substitute. Ensure the potato is well-mashed to avoid lumps in your dumplings, which can affect their texture. Adjust the flour gradually to achieve the right consistency for a soft dough that holds together without being sticky.
Serving Suggestions
These dumplings pair beautifully with Hungarian Chicken Paprikash for a hearty meal. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete dinner. For a cozy breakfast, consider enjoying them with a side of scrambled eggs or as an accompaniment to Chicken Pate A La Maison.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently simmer them in chicken broth until warmed through, which will help maintain their moisture and flavor. Avoid microwaving as it can make them tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant potato flakes instead of a fresh potato?
Yes, you can use instant potato flakes as a shortcut. Mix the flakes with the appropriate amount of water to achieve a mashed potato consistency. However, fresh potatoes will yield a better texture and flavor for the dumplings.
How can I make these dumplings gluten-free?
To make gluten-free dumplings, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend or almond flour. Ensure you adjust the liquid content slightly, as gluten-free flours can absorb moisture differently, resulting in a different dough consistency.
What can I serve with the dumplings aside from chicken broth?
These dumplings are versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes. Consider pairing them with a rich stew or a creamy sauce. They are also delicious with sautéed mushrooms or a light herb butter for a different flavor profile.
