Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Mix the mashed potatoes with flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough. Add a little more flour if needed, but do not overmix.
Prepare the stuffing by finely chopping the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, and garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese. Set aside to cool.
Divide the potato dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each portion and place about 1 teaspoon of the Mediterranean filling in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling and shape it into a ball, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the dumplings in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Prepare the mushroom cream sauce by melting butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until browned.
Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Then add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
To serve, place the dumplings on a plate and spoon the mushroom cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired.
