Grated Potato Dumplings

Recipe View 5 mins Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins While the water heats, peel the potatoes and immediately submerge them in cold water to prevent oxidation. Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor into a large bowl. Drain any excess liquid; squeezing gently with your hands or using a clean kitchen towel can help. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In the bowl with the grated potatoes, add the flour and salt. Mix thoroughly until just combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky. To test the consistency, form a small dumpling using a teaspoon. If it falls apart, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dumpling holds its shape. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Gently drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the boiling water. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; work in batches if necessary. The dumplings will initially sink to the bottom. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 40 mins Once the dumplings float to the surface, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Gently stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Simmer for 40 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and tender.
