1 cup / 125 g of all-purpose flour
1 tsp of salt

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

1

Fill a large pot with water, salt it with a teaspoon of salt, and add a tablespoon of oil.

2

Mash potatoes with a potato masher in a pot.

3

Measure out flour onto a clean surface, add potatoes, whisked egg, and salt and fold together gently.

4

Do not knead. Dough will be slightly wet. Add a tablespoon of flour to keep from sticking to your hands, if needed.

5

Fold just until combined, not more than 1-2 minutes.

6

Cut away ¼ of the dough and roll to form a long log.

7

Flatten the log and cut it into 1-1½ inch / 3-4 centimeter pieces at a 45-degree angle.

8

Place raw dumplings in boiling water in batches, stir gently to prevent dumplings from sticking to the bottom and to each other.

9

Simmer on low for about 1 minute from the time they start floating to the top (about 3 minutes total).

10

Remove from pot and spread on a large surface to cool, or serve right away.
