Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 10 oz

Semi-Smoked Sausage - 5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins, drain the water, transfer them to a bowl, and let them cool to room temperature. Then cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Step 2

Peel all the boiled potatoes and grate them on a medium grater. Take half of the potatoes and gradually add the cheese, 200 grams of flour, and eggs, kneading the dough. Roll the dough into a log, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it 'rest' for 20–30 minutes.

Step 3

For the filling, take the remaining half of the potatoes, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and mix everything until smooth.

Step 4

Next, sprinkle the work surface with the remaining 100 grams of flour and gradually incorporate it into the dough, then roll it out to a thickness of about 2 mm.

Step 5

Cut out circles from the dough with a diameter of 7–8 cm. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle, then seal the edges (if desired, you can press them with a small fork for a stronger seam and a decorative pattern).

Step 6

Drop the dumplings into salted boiling water and gently stir to prevent them from sticking together. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes after they float to the surface.
