# How to Make It:
01 -
Combine cooled mashed potatoes, egg, and 1 cup of flour in a large bowl. Gently knead until a soft, smooth dough forms, adding additional flour as needed to reduce stickiness.
02 -
Wash and hull strawberries. Cut larger berries in half. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.

Portion off pieces of dough and flatten each into a circle. Place one strawberry in the center, add a pinch of sugar, then fold the dough around the fruit and seal well. Shape into a ball and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
04 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add dumplings carefully in batches. Once they float to the surface, continue cooking for 1 to 2 additional minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
05 -
Transfer dumplings to a plate. Drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle with additional sugar, and, if desired, toss in toasted breadcrumbs or serve with sour cream. Enjoy while warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the dough is not overworked to keep the dumplings light and tender.
