Dumplings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Dumpling Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, mash the cooled potatoes. Add flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a bit more flour.

  3. 3

    Form the Dumplings

    Dust your hands with flour and form the potato mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

  4. 4

    Fry the Dumplings

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the dumplings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Yuzu Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yuzu juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
