Ingredients
- 17.6 oz (500 g) floury potatoes e.g. Russet Potatoes

Instructions
*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step pictures at the top of the post!
Boil potatoes
- First boil the whole potatoes in salted water for about 20-30 minutes (depending on size).
- Then drain and peel immediately. Now press the peeled potatoes through a potato ricer (or mash with a potato masher) while they are still warm and allow the steam to evaporate for a short while.
- Add softened vegan butter or margarine, potato flour, salt and nutmeg and gently mix with the palms of your hands to form a dough (do not overwork the potatoes or they’ll become sticky and gooey!).
Shape and cook the dumplings
- Divide the potato dough into 8 equal portions (approx. 2.6oz/75g each) and form into round dumplings.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Carefully add the dumplings into the hot water and let them simmer for about 20 minutes, until they float to the surface.
- Remove with a slotted spoon or skimmer and drain well.
- Serve immediately with vegan gravy or creamy mushroom sauce next to lentil meatloaf, beet wellington or mushroom wellington and some garlic mushrooms or roasted Brussels sprouts or braised red cabbage!
- Enjoy your meal!
Notes
- Make sure the water doesn’t boil rapidly when cooking the dumplings or they may fall apart. It should only simmer.
- Leftover potato dumplings can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Then reheat in simmering water for about 10 minutes or cut into pieces and fry in a pan with some vegan butter or oil, until the edges are slightly crisp and the center is soft and warm.
