Peel and grate the potatoes on a fine grater or use a food processor for a smoother consistency.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the dry potato mixture to a large bowl. Add the flour, egg, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Using a spoon or your hands, drop small spoonfuls of the dough into the water to form dumplings.
Cook the dumplings for about 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Core and thinly slice the cabbage. Peel the onion and slice it into thin strips.
In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and begins to caramelize.
Season the cabbage mixture with the remaining salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss the cooked dumplings into the skillet with the cabbage and onion mixture. Stir to combine and let cook for 5 more minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
