INGREDIENT NOTES:

POTATOES:

  • They give a soft texture and mild taste to the dumplings. Starchy potatoes mash easily and make the dish tender. You may use Yukon Gold potatoes as per your preference.

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • It binds the mashed potatoes and rolls the mixture easily. Flour provides structure to hold the shape well while cooking. You may use all-purpose flour that does not contain gluten as another idea.

EGG:

  • Eggs hold the potato mixture well and keep the dumplings from breaking while boiling. It includes a little protein and improves the structure. You may use an egg replacer as per your choice.

PARSLEY:

  • We use it to include freshness and color in the dish. Parsley provides a mild herbal taste and makes the dumplings brighter. Fresh chives are good to use as a replacement.
