For the best texture, use day-old mashed potatoes that have been thoroughly chilled. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. To test for doneness, cut one dumpling open. It should be cooked through with no doughy center. These dumplings can be made ahead of time. Cooked dumplings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by steaming or pan-frying until warmed through.

Apr 14, 2025Great recipe, but my dough was a little dry. I added a tablespoon of milk and it helped a lot.
