1

Boil 800 grams of potatoes in salted water.

2

Remove the water and return the potatoes to the stove to evaporate excess moisture.

3

Mash the potatoes well and let them cool for a while.

4

Prepare the filling by heating 2 teaspoons of butter in a pan and frying bread cubes to make croutons.

5

Wait for the mashed potatoes to cool enough to handle.

6

Add 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ground nutmeg to the cooled mashed potatoes.

7

Gradually add 150 grams of potato flour, mixing until the dough is soft and pliable, similar to playdough.

8

Take a portion of the dough, flatten it, add 3 croutons, and shape it into a dumpling.

9

Dust the dumpling with some starch and place it in a bowl.

10

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then reduce the heat to just below boiling.

11

Carefully add the dumplings to the water, ensuring it is not boiling to prevent them from falling apart.

12

Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for about 20 minutes, depending on their size.

13

After 20 minutes, check that the dumplings have increased in size and are floating on top.

14

Carefully remove the dumplings from the pot and place them in a serving dish.

15

Melt some butter, mix in chopped parsley, and pour it over the dumplings before serving.
