Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 pound Salted pork or ham
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Optional: Sour cream
Instructions
Peel and grate the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. For a smoother texture, you can also use a food processor.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes by pressing them into a clean kitchen towel.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the baking powder.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the grated potatoes, stirring to form a thick, dough-like consistency.
Cut the salted pork or ham into small cubes. If desired, lightly cook them in a skillet to render some fat and enhance flavor.
With wet hands, take a portion of the dough (about the size of an egg) and flatten it slightly. Place a piece of the pork or ham in the center and fold the dough around it to form a ball.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
Gently drop the dumplings into the simmering water. Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary.
Let the dumplings simmer for 30-35 minutes or until they are firm and cooked through. They will float to the top as they cook.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings from the water and transfer them to a serving dish.
Optional: Melt the butter and drizzle it over the dumplings before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess and tang.
