  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (239 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
  • Contains: dairy, egg

Ingredients

  • 180 g Potatoes, russet, raw
  • 30 g Potato starch
  • 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 1 g Salt
  • 8 g Butter, unsalted

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and mash while hot, leaving no lumps.
  2. Once cooled slightly, mix in the potato starch, egg and salt to make a smooth, firm dough.
  3. Shape the dough into small flattened ovals, pressing a shallow thumbprint indent into the centre of each, the traditional shape that helps them cook evenly.
  4. Drop into a large pot of gently boiling salted water and cook for 3-4 minutes after they rise to the surface, until cooked through.
  5. Lift out with a slotted spoon, toss with the melted butter, and serve hot as a side dish, or with a sauce as a light main.
