Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • 250 grams flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 kg plums
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 200 grams breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • First step is to boil the potatoes. When they are cooked, you’ll need to remove the skin, and crush them while still hot until smooth (no lumps)
  • When it cools down add the flour, 2 tbsp of the oil and the salt, and mix it all together (if you prefer to use eggs for the dough, you can add one egg yolk to it)
  • Then you stretch the dough and cut it in 8x8 cm squares
  • The next step is to remove the seeds from the plums and fill them with a mix of cinnamon and sugar
  • You can put full or just half plum in each, and form balls out of them
  • When they are ready, place them in boiling water and wait until they come up to the top
  • When that happens, leave it there for another minute
  • Mix the breadcrumbs with the other 2 tbsp of oil and roast until golden. When ready, add to a bowl with a little sugar if you prefer and roll the dumplings into that. Then serve
