Add diced potatoes and reduce heat to a simmer; cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, milk, and melted butter to form a dough.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the simmering soup.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes until dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.

Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice to taste.

Season with salt and additional lime juice if desired.
