Ingredients:

   500 g boiled potatoes in skins (uniform medium sized) cooled and peeled
   200 g white flour

   1 egg

   1 Tbsp potato starch (not potato flour)
   pinch of salt

Press potatoes through a ricer or meat grinder. add egg, salt, flour, and starch. Knead till uniform consistency.

Using extra flour, roll out to 3cm wide logs and cut at a diagonal. 

Bring a big pot of water to a boil.

Place dumplings, about 10 at a time, into the boiling water, and once they float up to the surface, boil for further 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.

 Serve with melted butter, fried onion, fried mushroom, or gravy of your choice (Brown, mushroom, mustard).

The Review

Soft, chewy, and a juicy bite when eaten in a sauce. Strong potato flavor, which is makes them a great complement to many sauces.
