Grated potato dumplings

Grated potato dumplings are a delightful and hearty dish that brings together the simplicity of potatoes with the comforting texture of dumplings. This recipe uses just a few ingredients to create a satisfying meal that is perfect for family dinners or as a side dish.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
1480g
1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
120g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by washing and peeling the potatoes.
- Using a fine grater, grate the potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
2. Drain Excess Liquid:
- Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is important to ensure your dumplings hold together well.
3. Mix the Dough:
- Transfer the drained grated potatoes back into the large mixing bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the grated potatoes.
- Mix everything together thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
4. Form the Dumplings:
- Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and shape them into small balls or oval-shaped dumplings. If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly dust your hands with a bit of flour.
5. Cook the Dumplings:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook the dumplings for 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface and remain afloat for a few minutes. This indicates they are cooked through.

6. Drain and Serve:
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the boiling water and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
7. Optional - Fry for Extra Crispiness:
- If you prefer your dumplings crispy, you can pan-fry them in a bit of oil until golden brown on all sides after boiling.
8. Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the dumplings hot. They can be enjoyed as a side dish with a variety of mains such as roasted meats, stews, or grilled vegetables.
- You can also serve them with a dipping sauce or gravy of your choice.

Tips:

- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for better binding and texture.

- Make sure to grate the potatoes finely and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid soggy dumplings.

- If the dough feels too wet, gradually add more flour until the consistency is right.

- Cook a small test dumpling to check for seasoning and adjust salt as needed before cooking the entire batch.

- Serve the dumplings immediately for the best texture, as they can become soggy if left to sit.

Grated potato dumplings are an easy and delicious dish that takes simple ingredients and transforms them into a comforting meal. Whether served as a main course or a side dish, these dumplings are sure to be a hit at your table. Enjoy them with your favorite gravy or sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
