Ingredients
  • 1/ 2 kilo plums or apricots ( you can use peaches, too) without pits ( I usually quarter them and leave them 1/2 hour in 1/2 cup cognac/brandy to soak)
  • 600 g potatoes
  • 4 spoons oil ( I used Canola)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 200 g flour
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup powder sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions
  1. Cut the potatoes in cubes and boil them. Discard the water and with a hand blender mash the potatoes with the oil. Let it cool.
  2. Mix the potatoes with eggs and flour. You will have a dough. Roll in a round and long shape. Cut in 1/2 - 1 inch pieces.
  3. Take each piece in your palm and add 1/4 of a plum in the middle, trying to make a ball around it, out of the dough. You will need a few tries until you get it right.
  4. Once you have made all the dumplings, set them on the side.
  5. Separately, on a pan melt the butter and fry lightly the breadcrumbs (until golden) with sugar and Vanilla extract. Keep the pan on warm and be careful not to overcook ( do not burn the breadcrumbs!)
  6. In a large pot boil approx 3 liters water. Turn the heat to medium - high to keep the boiling low and drop 7 -8 dumplings at a time. Boil 20 minutes.
  7. Dry the dumplings and dredge them through the breadcrumb mix.
  8. Enjoy!

Oh my, this sounds so delicious that I must make soon with plouts or white peaches. Thank for the post my friend.


I saw Lidia Matticchio Bastianich do a similar dumpling that had potatoes in the dough and a sweet jam filling. She was born in the city of Pula, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia so maybe that influenced her recipe. Anyway, yours look beautiful!


P.S. I found her video making the recipe, thought you might enjoy :-)
