Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- as needed Low-fat cooking spray
Instructions
Peel and quarter the Russet potatoes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth and let them cool slightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, egg whites, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Mix until a smooth, soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Lightly flour a clean surface and divide the dough into four equal parts.
Roll each part into a log about 1 inch in diameter and cut into 1-inch pieces to form dumplings.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to a simmer and gently drop the dumplings in batches into the water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a plate sprayed lightly with low-fat cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Serve the dumplings warm, perhaps with a light gravy or sauce of your choice.
