Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potato chunks. Boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit in the hot pot for a couple of minutes to dry out slightly.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, water, and olive oil.
Stir the mixture until it forms a dough. It should be smooth and not sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more flour as needed.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter.
Cut the log into even pieces, about 1 inch thick. Roll each piece into a rough ball.
Bring another large pot of salted water to a boil.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Once the dumplings rise to the surface, continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Optionally, you can heat a little more olive oil in a skillet and fry the dumplings until golden brown for extra flavor and texture.
Serve warm with your favorite vegan gravy or sauce.
