Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them thoroughly or use a potato ricer for an extra-smooth texture. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, egg, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix until a smooth dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but workable. If it’s too sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces to form the dumplings.

Step 6

Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked dumplings and transfer them to a plate. Keep warm while cooking the remaining batches.

Step 8

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Toss the cooked dumplings in the buttery breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve the potato dumplings warm, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy as a side dish or with your favorite sauce or gravy!
