Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for a minute or so to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes thoroughly with a potato masher or run them through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough as it could become sticky.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces to form the dumplings. Use a fork to gently press down each piece for a decorative texture if desired.

Step 8

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches, cooking them until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 10

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Pour the browned butter over the dumplings.

Step 11

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dumplings for garnish. Serve warm.
