Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Water

Directions
- Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add the salt and flour, mixing well to form a dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little water until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a ball. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each ball, creating a dumpling shape.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve hot with butter, herbs, or your favorite sauce.
