Step 1
Boil potatoes whole in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and cool until you can handle them.
Step 2
Peel cooled potatoes and press through a ricer into a large bowl. Add flour, egg, and a pinch of salt; fold until dough holds together.
Step 3
Divide dough into 8 balls, rolling gently between your palms. Boil in salted water until they float, then 2 minutes more.
Step 4
Slice onion into thin rings. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium until golden, then cook onions until caramelized, ~8 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer caramelized onions to a plate. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet, raise heat to medium-high.
Step 6
Pan-fry dumplings in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Toss with caramelized onions and parsley; serve hot.
