Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 pound Salted pork or ham
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Optional: Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. For a smoother texture, you can also use a food processor.

Step 2

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes by pressing them into a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the baking powder.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the grated potatoes, stirring to form a thick, dough-like consistency.

Step 5

Cut the salted pork or ham into small cubes. If desired, lightly cook them in a skillet to render some fat and enhance flavor.

Step 6

With wet hands, take a portion of the dough (about the size of an egg) and flatten it slightly. Place a piece of the pork or ham in the center and fold the dough around it to form a ball.

Step 7

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering water. Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Let the dumplings simmer for 30-35 minutes or until they are firm and cooked through. They will float to the top as they cook.

Step 10

Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the water and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 11

Optional: Melt the butter and drizzle it over the dumplings before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess and tang.
