Ingredients

1.7 pounds of potatoes 800 grams
2.5 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of fine breadcrumbs
3 tbsp of unsalted butter
Salt
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
30 small damson plum, stoned
1 whole egg

Instructions

Peel, cube and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Mash the potatoes while still warm, mash really well with no chunks left. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, toast the bread crumbs in about 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat, stirring constantly, until crunchy and golden brown. Put aside.
Mix the potato mass with one egg, a pinch of salt, the flour and knead the dough until smooth. The dough should be light and pliable, it might be a bit sticky but do not add more flour, otherwise you dumplings will be stone-hard.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Sprinkle the work surface well with flour before placing the ball of dough on top. Be sure to sprinkle the dough on top as well as coat the rolling pin. I sprinkle a lot of flour on the surface, it prevents the rolled dough sticking to it. Roll it out the until it’s 0,5 thick (approx. 1/4 inch). Cut the rolled dough into 6 cm (2.5 inch) squares. Place a half plum on each square and sprinkle 1 coffee spoon of cinnamon sugar in the middle of the plums. Place the other half of the plums on the candied plums. Fold and knead the dough around plums to make them into dumplings.
Add the dumplings to the boiling water in batches – not to over-crowd them – and gently simmer until they float on the top.
Remove the dumplings from the water using a slotted spoon, drain and lightly roll them in breadcrumbs browned in oil.
Sprinkle with sugary ground cinnamon. Enjoy!

Notes

When you mash the cooked potatoes, add the butter and let it cool completely before adding the flour.
30 small damson plum, stoned – if making it from a larger fruit can use a half for each dumpling.
Don’t overcrowd the pot with dumplings, cook a few ones at a time and remove them with a slotted spoon.
Use fine breadcrumbs, otherwise you can get a harsh texture in your mouth.

  Hello Frank,
  The best potato to use is the yellow skin potato, we call it Ella in Hungary.

oh dear me, it stuck like hell. I mixed it while the potatoes were still warm, is that what I did wrong? I had to add more flour, otherwise it stuck. Not just a bit, but I could not work with it. So mine turned out hard. I think I will try other recipes.

  Hello,
  Yes, you have it cool completely otherwise the dumplings will be hard.

I make plum dumplings a lot in the fall. I always rice the potatoes so my dough is smooth. I also skip the rolling out of the dough, just make a ball, flatten it and place the plum in the center. Also I leave the pit in (keeps the dumpling from falling apart while boiling and rolling in breadcrumb mix) and serve with sour cream and extra cinnamon sugar if you like

most times we used left over mashed potatoes that had butter and cream mixed in. it speeded up the process when we wanted to make gomboc or nudli.

  Hello Andi,
  Apologies for the oversight! I appreciate your keen eye. I did include an egg in the recipe, but unfortunately, I forgot to list them in the ingredients. They are mentioned in the description area, though. I’m grateful for your understanding, and I hope you enjoy making the recipe. If you have any more questions or need clarification, feel free to ask. Happy cooking!

Idaho russet potatoes work perfectly fine for this recipe, and in the States are the most commonly available potato.
Also, my sister and I use Italian prune plums, which come into season late August-September time frame. We think their tartness is a perfect compliment to the sweetness of the sugar.
