Directions

  1. 1Cut six large potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut them into strips and finally dice them.
  2. 2Transfer the diced potatoes to a large saucepan, add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cover them with 1 liter of water.
  3. 3Bring the saucepan to medium heat and boil potatoes until cooked through.
  4. 4Cut one onion in half, then cut one of these halves into strips and finally dice them. Set aside.
  5. 5To a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the onions.
  6. 6Sauté the onions until slightly golden brown.
  7. 7Add one crushed garlic clove and keep sautéing until golden brown.
  8. 8Add 500 grams of ground beef and, with a spatula, let it all cook until meat is slightly cooked and releases some juices.
  9. 9To season it, add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a generous pinch of black pepper.
  10. 10Mix it all together again to make sure the meat absorbs the spices.
  11. 11To a large bowl add all those cooked and drained potato dices and 50 grams of unsalted butter.
  12. 12Using a potato masher, mash all these potatoes into mash.
  13. 13Add one whole egg and mix it all up until fully combined.
  14. 14Add 160 grams of wheat flour and keep mixing it all up into a smooth uniform dough. Set aside.
  15. 15Sprinkle some flour on the counter or chopping board.
  16. 16Get some of the potato dough and put it over the flour.
  17. 17If dough is sticky, sprinkle some flour all over it as well. Flatten dough with the palm of your hands into a circle.
  18. 18Keep stretching it with a rolling pin.
  19. 19Add two tablespoons of meat we've set aside.
  20. 20Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and close it into a dumpling shape.
  21. 21Repeat this process until you've used up all of the dough and filling.
  22. 22To a skillet over medium heat add some oil until the bottom is covered.
  23. 23Put one dumpling at a time into the skillet and fry them until golden brown, then flip them and fry the other side until golden brown as well.
  24. 24Transfer the dumplings to a plate lined with some paper towel to nicely dry them.
