• n. B. Sugar, diced

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

enough for approx. 28 pieces

Make jacket potatoes from the potatoes. Peel them while still hot and press them through a potato ricer (a masher will also work, but it takes more time). Let the potato mixture cool. In the meantime, wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the stones. Add the flour, eggs, salt, and nutmeg to the potato mixture and knead everything well. Add more flour if necessary to prevent the mixture from sticking too much. Fill each plum with a sugar cube. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of potato dough and shape into a ball. Press the filled plum into the ball, pressing the dough firmly around the plum. Drop directly into boiling salted water. Let the dumplings cook in the boiling water for about 15 minutes. Tip: Since the dough is very sticky, the dumplings turn out best if you wet your hands with plenty of water after each dumpling. To serve, sprinkle with breadcrumbs (butter with breadcrumbs), cinnamon, and sugar. For planning convenience: This mixture yields approximately 28 dumplings! Tip: I also freeze the dumplings and, after thawing, heat them in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes.
