Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15 minutes. You can test doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should break apart easily.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for a few minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a ricer for a smoother texture.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Allow the potatoes to cool just slightly, if necessary, before proceeding to the next step to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Add the all-purpose flour, large eggs, salt, melted butter, and nutmeg (if using) to the mashed potatoes.
Mix the ingredients gently with a spatula or your hands until combined into a dough-like consistency.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into logs about 1 inch in diameter. Cut the logs into small pieces to form dumplings about 1 inch in size.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Drop the dumplings into the water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, then allow them to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure they are thoroughly cooked.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked dumplings and place them on a serving platter. Repeat the process with the remaining dumplings.
Serve the sugar-free potato dumplings warm, optionally topping them with additional melted butter or a sprinkle of herbs like parsley for garnish.
