Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups potatoes (peeled and grated)

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pork (cooked and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for serving)
  • 1 cup water (for boiling)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl.

    Use a coarse grater for better texture.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    Add flour and salt to the grated potatoes and mix well.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
  3. Form Dumplings

    Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
  4. Boil Dumplings

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and drop in the dumplings.

  5. Serve

    Remove dumplings from water and serve with diced pork and butter.

    Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.
