Ingredients

• 500 grams Russet potatoes
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Semolina
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 10 Plums (small, ripe)
• 10 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Butter
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly before mashing or ricing them into a smooth consistency. Let the mashed potatoes cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, flour, semolina, egg, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until manageable.

Step 3

Wash the plums and remove the pits. Insert one teaspoon of granulated sugar into the center of each plum, then set them aside.

Step 4

Dust your work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc, then place a sugared plum in the center. Gently wrap the dough around the plum, enclosing it completely, and roll it into a smooth ball.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the water, being sure not to overcrowd. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Step 6

While the dumplings are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them until golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and mix in the ground cinnamon, if using.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked dumplings to the skillet with the buttery breadcrumbs. Roll each dumpling in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve the dumplings warm, dusted with powdered sugar for garnish. Enjoy this comforting treat as a dessert or sweet main dish!
