Dumplings with potatoes and bacon

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the dough, mix the beaten egg, salt, warm water and flour in a convenient bowl. Knead a rather tight dough and put it on the table, sprinkled with flour. Cover with cling film or towel and let it lie down for 30 minutes. This is the time to prepare the filling.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the potatoes and boil in salted water for 30 minutes until tender. Drain all the water and crush it to a puree state, trying to avoid lumps. Now let's prepare the second part of the filling.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel and finely chop the onion. Fat is also finely chopped. Garlic is cleaned and passed through a press. Lard can be used fresh or salted.

4. Step 4:

   

   Preheat the frying pan with vegetable oil, spread the fat and let it get tired over medium heat. If the fat is fresh, then you can add a little salt. Add the onion and chopped garlic, mix and fry until the onion turns brownish.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour half of the prepared roast into the mashed potatoes - the second half will still be needed. Mix with a spoon or a little crush - I used a pusher with holes for this, with which I pushed potatoes. The puree immediately becomes juicy and fragrant, with the smell of garlic. The filling for dumplings is ready.

7. Step 6:

   

   From the rested dough, we form a roll and cut it into small circles, on which the size and number of dumplings will depend. I made small dumplings and I got about 40 pieces. Then I dipped each circle on both sides in flour and pressed it down a little.

8. Step 7:

   

   Next, take a piece of dough and roll it out into a flat cake - you do not need to roll it out thinly so that the dough does not break through during cooking and the filling does not come out. We put the filling in the middle, fold the dumpling in half and pinch it in the usual way for you. We do this with all the pieces.

9. Step 8:

   

   When the water boils in the pan, salt it and send the first batch of dumplings to cook - their number depends on the size of the pan. I cooked 15 pieces at a time. Cook for about 10 minutes with stirring. Ready-made dumplings are thrown into a colander or removed from the pan with a slotted spoon.

    Ready-made dumplings are watered with the second part of the frying of onions, bacon and garlic, mix. On top, you can additionally sprinkle them with chopped green onions.
