Potato Dumplings with Fruits
- Cook the potatoes with their skins, and once cool, peel and grate them on a fine grater. On a board knead a stiff dough from all the ingredients: flour, eggs, potatoes and salt.
- Roll out the dough soon so it does not get runny.
- Cut it into squares, put washed and drained piece of fruit into every piece and shape it as into a ball.
- Boil them in slightly salted water for about 7 minutes until they float to the surface.
- Take them out but do not rinse them. Pour melted butter over the finished dumplings, and sprinkle topping – cream cheese with sugar, ground poppy seeds with sugar, ground nuts with sugar or fried breadcrumbs.
Method for the crumbly topping – streusel:
- Fry the breadcrumbs in a dry pan until pink.
- Sweeten the fried breadcrumbs with powdered sugar. You can also add minced or chopped walnuts to sprinkle over the still hot, buttered dumplings.

Nowadays some find it easier just to buy pies ready made from grocery store, but baking the pie oneself is almost just as easy as well. Baking may take little bit more time, but the result, it’s worth it.
