Grated Potato Dumplings(Pyzy) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. peeled potatoes
1 egg
5 Tbsp. flour

Preparation

Grate potatoes and allow to drip dry in fine sieve or cloth bag.
Gently press out moisture.
Let the leftover liquid settle; pour off the clear liquid at top and add the sediment (starch) to grated potatoes.
Stir in egg and flour and work into a moist but firm dough.
If it feels too mushy, adding a bit of flour won't hurt.
Transfer dough to moist board; form walnut sized balls between floured hands and cook in boiling salted water.
If you want, leave the dough mushy and spoon it out of bowl with a tablespoon into the boiling water.
