Ingredient Notes
• Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the best texture. You can substitute with sweet potatoes for a twist.
• Greek yogurt: A thick, creamy yogurt works best. Feel free to use plain plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
• Flour: All-purpose flour is standard here, but gluten-free flour blends can work if you need it gluten-free.
• Fresh herbs: Opt for chives or dill to garnish and enhance the dish; buy fresh for the brightest flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix in the flour, a pinch of salt and pepper, and form a dough. Chill for 15 minutes for easier handling.
- Divide the dough into small portions, flatten them, and place a spoonful of Greek yogurt in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop in the dumplings and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.
Things I’ve Learned
• Common issues: If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it’s too dry, a splash of water can help.
• Storage: These dumplings can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. They also freeze well, so consider making a double batch!
• Reheating: Gently reheat in boiling water for a few minutes or in the microwave for a quick fix.
• Make-ahead prep: Prepare the dumplings ahead of time and simply boil them before serving.
