"THIS IS A sticky part of the meal to prepare, but these dumplings are so good they're worth the mess! When I was a child, I loved to watch the cooking dumplings pop to the top of the pot of boiling water. We youngsters always had two helpings...one with sauerbraten gravy and the other with warm plum jam on top!

Tips:

Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for making mashed potato dumplings, as they have a high starch content that helps them hold their shape.
Cook the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are very soft and can be easily mashed. This will help the dumplings stay together.
Mash the potatoes well: Use a potato ricer or a fine-mesh sieve to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps. This will help the dumplings have a light and fluffy texture.
Season the mashed potatoes: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the mashed potatoes before adding the flour. This will help flavor the dumplings.
Use just enough flour: Add the flour to the mashed potatoes gradually, until the mixture just comes together and forms a dough. Adding too much flour will make the dumplings tough.
Let the dough rest: After mixing the dough, let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This will help the flour absorb the moisture from the potatoes and make the dough easier to work with.
Form the dumplings: Use your hands to form the dough into small, oval-shaped dumplings. If the dough is too sticky, you can lightly grease your hands with oil.
Cook the dumplings: The dumplings can be cooked in boiling water, steamed, or fried. If boiling, cook the dumplings until they float to the top and then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. If steaming, steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through. If frying, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the dumplings in a little oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve the dumplings: Stuffed potato dumplings can be served on their own, with a simple sauce, or with a side dish of your choice. They are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
