👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the dough:
- Mix mashed potatoes, egg, and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually add flour until a soft but not sticky dough forms. It should be pliable and hold together.
- Shape the dumplings:
- On a floured surface, roll dough into ropes about ½ inch thick.
- Cut into 1-inch pieces (you can shape them like small logs if you like).
- Boil the dumplings:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add dumplings in batches and cook until they float to the top (about 2–3 minutes).
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Prepare the breadcrumb topping:
- In a large skillet, melt butter and add breadcrumbs.
- Toast over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant (add sugar if making a sweet version).
- Coat the dumplings:
- Add the cooked dumplings to the skillet and toss gently until coated with breadcrumbs.
🍽️ How to Serve:
- Savory: As a side dish with goulash or stews.
- Sweet: Sprinkle extra sugar and cinnamon on top and serve warm.
