Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds of starchy potatoes (like Russet or Yukon Gold)
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Butter or olive oil for sautéing (optional)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and add enough salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until they’re fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to allow steam to escape.
Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg (if using). Mix gently until a soft dough forms.
Dust a clean surface with flour and take a small amount of dough (about the size of a golf ball). Roll it into a ball, and gently flatten it slightly.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, carefully drop the dumplings in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 4–5 minutes.
For extra flavor, you can sauté the cooked dumplings in butter or olive oil until golden brown.
