Ingredients
- 500g potatoes - ideally Maris Piper or King Edward in variety
- 200g plain white flour
-
4 tbsp lard
- 2 diced medium brown onions
-
1 tsp sweet paprika
- salt
Directions
- In a saucepan, boil the potatoes in just enough water so that they are fully covered.
- Once tender, use a masher to crush the potatoes in the water used to boil them, then slowly add the plain flour while constantly mixing with a spatula until you end up with a solid ‘dough’ that is almost impossible to knead any further.
In a large frying pan, fry the diced onion on some lard until translucent, then sprinkle with paprika and salt.
Once the onions are ready, remove from the heat, and using a tablespoon dipped in oil, form small dumplings from the dough. Carefully add the dumplings to the frying pan and cook on medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Enjoy!
