Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil them in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.
Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth, then transfer them to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the flour. Mix until a soft dough forms, adding the remaining 0.5 cups of flour gradually if the dough is too sticky.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, but do not overmix. Roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick rope and cut it into 1-inch pieces to form the dumplings.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced carrot, celery, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Let the broth cook for 10 minutes to develop flavor.
Carefully drop the potato dumplings into the simmering broth. Stir gently to prevent sticking and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous amount of dumplings and vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
