Peel the potatoes and cook them in salted water until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl, allowing them to cool completely.

Pass the cooled potatoes through a potato ricer.

Add the flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Place the dough on a floured surface and divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a log.

Flatten each log slightly, then cut into pieces about 1.5 - 2 cm wide.

In batches, place the dumplings in boiling salted water in a large pot. Cook for about 3 minutes after they rise to the surface or until tender.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings and serve.
