Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Potato starch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes until smooth and transfer to a mixing bowl. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In the bowl with the mashed potatoes, mix in the eggs, potato starch, salt, and nutmeg. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Heat a small skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring, until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.

Step 7

Bring another large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Divide the dumpling dough into 12-16 equal portions and roll each into a ball. If the dough is overly sticky, lightly flour your hands.

Step 9

Carefully place the dumplings into the simmering water, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 10

The dumplings will sink initially but will float to the surface as they cook. Let them simmer an additional 5 minutes after floating.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a plate.

Step 12

Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the dumplings, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
