1. 1

   Peel, cube, and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain thoroughly and mash them while still warm until completely smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and let the potato mixture cool completely.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensure potatoes are well-drained to avoid a watery dough.
2. 2

   While the potatoes cool, toast the breadcrumbs in a separate pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown and crunchy. Set aside.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Watch carefully to prevent burning.
3. 3

   In a bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes with the egg, a pinch of salt, and 2 cups of the flour. Knead the dough until smooth and pliable. It might be slightly sticky; avoid adding too much extra flour, as this can make the dumplings tough.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: If the dough is too sticky to handle, dust your hands and the work surface lightly with flour.
4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in another small bowl.

5. 5

   Prepare the plums by cutting around the stone, leaving them attached on one side. Remove the stone and fill the cavity with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Use ripe but firm plums for best results.
6. 6

   Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll out about a quarter of the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2.5-inch squares.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Work in batches to prevent the dough from drying out.
7. 7

   Place a prepared plum in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough around the plum, sealing it completely to form a round dumpling. Ensure there are no gaps where the plum can leak out.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Pinch the seams tightly to seal.
8. 8

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the dumplings in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Gently simmer until they float to the surface, then cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Simmer gently to prevent the dumplings from breaking apart.
9. 9

   Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon, drain well, and immediately roll them in the toasted breadcrumbs. Serve hot, sprinkled with extra cinnamon-sugar if desired.

   💡 نصائح احترافية: Serve immediately for the best texture.
