Wash and chop the swiss chard, removing thick stems.

Steam the swiss chard until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Let the steamed chard cool, then squeeze out excess moisture.

Boil potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain and mash.

In a skillet, melt butter and sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Combine mashed potatoes, sautéed onion, chopped chard, flour, eggs, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.

Mix until a dough forms, adjusting flour as needed for consistency.

Shape the dough into small balls or dumplings.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and gently drop in the dumplings.

Cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain.

Serve warm, garnished with parmesan cheese and parsley.
