Step 1
Boil the 2 lb potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and mash until completely smooth.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with 1 cup potato starch, 1 large egg, and 1 tsp salt. Knead into a soft dough, adding 1 tbsp water if too dry.
Step 3
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 1 inch thick log. Cut into 1 inch pieces and shape each into a ball.
Step 4
Press a dimple into each ball with your thumb. This helps the dumplings cook evenly and catch sauce.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the dumplings in batches, cooking until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve warm with gravy or melted butter.
