Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for a minute or so to evaporate any excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes thoroughly with a potato masher or run them through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl.
Add the flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough as it could become sticky.
Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1 inch in diameter.
Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces to form the dumplings. Use a fork to gently press down each piece for a decorative texture if desired.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches, cooking them until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Pour the browned butter over the dumplings.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dumplings for garnish. Serve warm.
