Keep the potato flour that settles at the bottom of the strainer.

Mix the potato flour with the shredded potatoes.

Add mashed potatoes to the mixture.

Add a little bit of ascorbic acid and some water to achieve a solid, formable batter.

Put the dumplings in lightly salted boiling water and simmer for 50-60 minutes.
