👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Prepare the potato dough: Mash the cooked and peeled potatoes until smooth. Add flour, 1 tbsp butter, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt. Combine until a compact dough forms. If too sticky, add more flour. Let the dough rest for 10-20 minutes.

Prepare the plums: Wash the plums, remove the pits, and stuff each plum with a sugar cube.
- 3
Form the dumplings: Take a portion of dough, flatten it into a palm-sized circle, place a stuffed plum in the center, and carefully form the dough around it to create a smooth ball, ensuring the plum is completely enclosed.

Cook the dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the water. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Prepare the breadcrumb coating: While the dumplings are cooking, melt 125g butter in a pan over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and 100g sugar. Stir continuously until golden brown and toasted.

Finish and serve: Remove the cooked dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon. Toss them in the prepared buttered breadcrumbs until well coated. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar.
