Once cooled, add egg yolks and flour to the potato mixture.

Knead the mixture on a floured surface for a couple of minutes until soft.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into rectangles and place a teaspoon of plum jam in the middle of each square.

Toast breadcrumbs in a frying pan with butter for 2-4 minutes, stirring continuously until golden brown.

Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a gentle boil and add the dumplings.

Cook uncovered on medium heat for approximately 6 minutes.

Roll the cooked dumplings in warm breadcrumbs and set aside.
