Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sautéed onion, chopped chives, dried marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
💡 Proffstips: Ensure the mashed potatoes are smooth and free of lumps. - 2
Make the dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until elastic.
💡 Proffstips: The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more flour if too sticky, or a tiny bit of milk if too dry. - 3
Assemble the Idrijski Želj: Roll out the dough thinly (about 2mm thick). Cut into small squares (approximately 4x4 cm). Place a teaspoon of the potato filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Then, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and press to seal, creating the characteristic 'hat' shape.
💡 Proffstips: Use a little water to seal the edges if the dough is dry. - 4
Cook the Idrijski Želj: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the prepared dumplings and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Serve: Drain the Idrijski Želj and toss gently with melted butter and fresh sage leaves. Serve immediately.
💡 Proffstips: Alternatively, serve with a simple meat sauce or gravy.
