Authentic Homemade German Potato Dumplings

Boil half the potatoes with their skins on until they are soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes are cooling, peel the remaining potatoes and grate them finely. Ensure to squeeze any extra liquid out from the grated potatoes using a cheesecloth or sieve.

Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them completely in a large bowl.

Add the grated potatoes to the bowl with the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Add the flour, eggs, corn starch, salt, and a hint of nutmeg to the potato mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.

Shape the dough into dumplings size as desired.

In a large pot, boil salted water. Gently drop the dumplings into the water. Let them cook until they float to the surface.

In a separate skillet, melt the butter and toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown.

Once dumplings are cooked, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and drizzle the buttery breadcrumbs on top before serving.
