Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Silesian style

Peel the potatoes and boil until soft. Let them cool slightly and then press them through a potato ricer. Place the potato mixture in a wide bowl, cut a cross in the middle with a fork (quarter them). Take out a quarter of the mixture and add it to the other 3/4, filling the resulting hollow with potato flour (if you like, you can also weigh the ingredients exactly ;-)). Add the egg, season with a little salt, and mix well until a smooth mixture forms. Form medium-sized dumplings, place them in boiling water for 5 minutes, then cool in a pot with a glass of cold water – done. A perfect side dish for all meat dishes. A prime example is roast pork and apple-red cabbage with a hearty gravy. Cook the dumplings just before serving. A staple food in Upper Silesia. Many different variations are possible, for example, by adding diced bacon or finely chopped vegetables.
