Grate potato directly into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze hard to remove all water.

Mix flour, squeezed potato, egg, and a pinch of salt until soft dough forms; knead 30 seconds.
Step 3

Heat 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foamy, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Fry dumplings 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
