These Viennese dumplings are so versatile, soft, tender and delicious. You can use them in soups, or eat them plain with butter, seasonings and parsley, or serve them with pesto or your favorite sauces or gravies. Or maybe you'd like to add some sauerkraut or fried cabbage with these, they would be awesome. Just thinking about it I'm getting hungry. I hope you will enjoy this lovely dish.

How To Make easy potato dumplings

Step 1

Boil potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain and set aside to cool so you can work with them. Put a large pot of salted water to boil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, using a potato ricer, press then through. While the potatoes are still warm, shape them into a mound with a well in the center.
Step 3

Into the well of the potatoes add the following: 2 cups flour, eggs, butter, onion and 1/2 tbsp. salt. Now gently knead the dough until it is smooth, adding more flour (up to 4 tbsp as needed) if dough is tacky.
Step 4

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece of dough into a ball. Add 6 dough balls to pot of water, (20 min.) reduce heat and gently simmer, stir frequently, the dumplings will float to the top when they are cooked.
Step 5

Do the same thing to the remaining 6 dough balls. When ready to serve toss in melted butter and season with salt, pepper and parsley, or top with a sauce or gravy of your choosing.
