German Potato Dumplings [0000178]

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked and mashed potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes)
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, melted
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Gluten-free breadcrumbs (for rolling, if desired)

Instructions:

Prep and Cook Potatoes:

Boil or steam the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool completely.

Mix the Dumpling Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, gluten-free all-purpose flour, potato starch, egg, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and a dough forms.

Shape the Dumplings:

Lightly flour your hands with gluten-free flour.
Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.

Boil the Dumplings:

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil.

Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water.

Let the dumplings cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are cooked through.

Serve:

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the water and place them on a serving dish.
Drizzle melted butter over the dumplings for flavor and to prevent sticking.

If desired, roll the dumplings in gluten-free breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy these delightful Gluten-Free German Potato Dumplings as a comforting side dish or even a main course. The combination of tender potato dumplings, melted butter, and aromatic nutmeg creates a flavorful and satisfying dish. Adjust the seasoning and ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
