Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Potatoes
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and chop the potatoes and carrots into small chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped potatoes and carrots and cook until they are tender, about 12-15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and carrots, then mash them together in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the egg, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the mashed potato and carrot mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky yet manageable. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water in small batches, ensuring they don't stick together.

Step 8

Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate.

Step 9

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked dumplings and lightly sauté them until golden brown on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the dumplings to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
