This recipe is made with different variations in the whole Eastern Europe area. You can fill it up with apricots, plums, peaches and even jams. I work with a nice Polish girl and one day we both showed up at work with a plate of these goodies. Read more We laughed and joked about who invented them first: Romanian or Polish. I guess the Germans did it! See less
Ingredients
- 1/ 2 kilo plums or apricots ( you can use peaches, too) without pits ( I usually quarter them and leave them 1/2 hour in 1/2 cup cognac/brandy to soak) shopping list
- 600 g potatoes shopping list
- 4 spoons oil ( I used Canola) shopping list
- 2 large eggs shopping list
- 200 g flour shopping list
- 100 g butter shopping list
- 100 g breadcrumbs shopping list
- 3/4 cup powder sugar shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the potatoes in cubes and boil them. Discard the water and with a hand blender mash the potatoes with the oil. Let it cool.
- Mix the potatoes with eggs and flour. You will have a dough. Roll in a round and long shape. Cut in 1/2 - 1 inch pieces.
- Take each piece in your palm and add 1/4 of a plum in the middle, trying to make a ball around it, out of the dough. You will need a few tries until you get it right.
- Once you have made all the dumplings, set them on the side.
- Separately, on a pan melt the butter and fry lightly the breadcrumbs (until golden) with sugar and Vanilla extract. Keep the pan on warm and be careful not to overcook ( do not burn the breadcrumbs!)
- In a large pot boil approx 3 liters water. Turn the heat to medium - high to keep the boiling low and drop 7 -8 dumplings at a time. Boil 20 minutes.
- Dry the dumplings and dredge them through the breadcrumb mix.
- Enjoy!

I saw Lidia Matticchio Bastianich do a similar dumpling that had potatoes in the dough and a sweet jam filling. She was born in the city of Pula, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia so maybe that influenced her recipe. Anyway, yours look beautifu...more
