Small, round potato dumplings with a characteristic dimple in the center, boiled until translucent and served with rich gravy or caramelized onions.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Boil potatoes until tender. Drain, peel, and put through a ricer. Cool completely.
  2. 2 Mix riced potatoes with potato starch, egg, and salt to form a smooth dough.
  3. 3 Roll into small balls (about 3cm). Press your thumb into each to create the signature dimple.
  4. 4 Boil in salted water. When they float to the surface (2-3 min), they are done.
  5. 5 Remove with a slotted spoon. Toss with melted butter or serve alongside meat with gravy.

Did You Know?

The thumb dimple is not just decorative — it helps the dumplings cook evenly and catches more sauce.
