Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and boiled)
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Potato starch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Peel the russet potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to cool slightly. Then, mash them until smooth, or use a potato ricer for a finer texture.
3. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add the all-purpose flour, potato starch, eggs, and salt.
4. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a small amount of extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes workable but still soft.
5. Lightly flour a clean surface and divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cut the potato dough logs into 1.5-inch pieces to form dumplings.
7. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding. Stir gently to keep them from sticking to the bottom.
8. Cook the dumplings for about 7-8 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and float for an additional minute. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm plate.
9. (Optional) For a classic variation, toast breadcrumbs in melted butter over medium heat until golden brown, then toss the cooked dumplings in this mixture for extra flavor.
10. Serve the Bohemian potato dumplings warm as a side dish alongside your favorite roast, stew, or a simple gravy. Enjoy!
