   Salt, pepper the potatoes and make mashed potatoes, let it cool down a little.

   The surface on which we cook, generously sprinkle with flour, spread part of the potato dough (it is better to do this with a spoon so that the dough does not stick to your hands), dip your hands in flour and start rolling a tourniquet from the dough. We cut it into small pieces, form dumplings, of any shape.

9. Step 8:

   

   The shape does not affect the taste, the main thing is to make dumplings of the same size, this is important for the cooking time. Dip them in flour so that they do not stick together and stick to the plate. There is no need to be afraid of flour, the excess will be washed off during cooking.

    In a saucepan, bring salted water to a boil and dip the dumplings in parts into the water. When they are in the water, gently stir them with a spatula to lift them from the bottom. When all the dumplings rise and the water boils, cook them for 2-3 minutes and take them out with a slotted spoon.
