1

Coarsely grate raw potatoes and squeeze in a cloth to extract excess moisture and starch.

2

Transfer grated potatoes to a bowl and add cold unseasoned mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and pepper.

3

Knead by hand to mix until a cohesive ball of dough forms.

4

On a well-floured surface, divide the dough into four to five pieces and roll into two centimeter thick strings.

5

Cut the rolled dough into two centimeter long dumplings.

6

Prepare a pot of boiling water and cook the dumplings for 15 minutes.

7

Transfer the cooked dumplings onto a greased tray to prevent sticking.

8

In a pan, fry diced smoked bacon over medium-low heat until brown and well rendered, then set aside.

9

In the same pan, cook diced onions over medium heat for about a minute.

10

Add chopped celery, carrots, Worcestershire sauce, and salt, cooking for a further minute.

11

Add canned tomatoes and pulverize the mixture, then add a knob of butter and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes aromatic.

12

Stir in crushed garlic and incorporate the dumplings with a ladle or two of the boiling water from the dumplings, then simmer under a lid for five minutes or until the dumplings are tender and heated through.

13

Season with pepper and basil, then fold in the cooked bacon and a dash of heavy whipping cream.

14

Serve in a bowl topped with gratings of cheddar cheese.
