Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus more as needed)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for pan-searing)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Brown gravy (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Mash boiled potatoes until smooth. Add flour, egg, and salt. Mix into a soft dough. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add ground beef, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned. Let cool slightly.
- Divide potato dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each and spoon beef filling in the center. Fold and seal into a dumpling shape, smoothing edges.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-sear dumplings for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and optionally drizzled with warm brown gravy.
Notes
- Add shredded cheese to the beef mixture for extra richness.
- Try ground pork or lamb for a flavor variation.
- Use mashed sweet potatoes and plant-based filling for a vegan version.
- Instead of pan-searing, you can gently boil the dumplings until they float.
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for best dough texture.
