Equipment
- Large stock pot
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yellow potatoes (Yukon Gold)
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3/4 cup Potato starch
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Peel, dice, and boil the potatoes for 15 minutes or until soft.
- Drain the water from the pot and transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before mixing the other ingredients.
- Fill the stock pot with clean water and bring to a simmer. Important- do not boil the water!
- Mash the potatoes in the mixing bowl and add the butter, potato starch, egg, nutmeg, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir gently to combine all of the ingredients.
- Using your hands, form the potato mixture into 15 dumplings. It is helpful to get your hands wet while forming the dumplings.
- Drop the dumplings into the pot and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. This may take 2-3 batches depending on the width of your stockpot. Do not over crowd them. The dumplings will rise to the top of the water when they are finished cooking.
