  1. Boil half the potatoes in their skins in salted water for 20 minutes until cooked, peel them while hot and push them through a ricer.

  3. Quickly knead the raw and cooked potatoes with the potato starch, salt and nutmeg into a smooth dough.
  4. With damp hands, shape 8 dumplings.
  5. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the dumplings and let them poach over a low heat for 20 minutes without the water boiling.
  6. Lift out the dumplings with a slotted spoon and scatter with chopped chives.

Good to know

Half-and-half potato dumplings – Thuringia has its own name for them – are made from raw and cooked potatoes. They belong with St Martin's goose, and with no egg or flour they're vegan and gluten-free. With a little practice, you'll shape them in 10 minutes.

Swaps

Potato starch → cornflour. Chives → parsley. Nutmeg → marjoram. Cooking water → vegetable stock (more flavour).

Cooking tips

Only let the dumplings poach, never boil, or they'll fall apart. Make a test dumpling first; if it falls apart, knead in more starch.

Storage

Cooked dumplings keep for 2 days in the fridge; sliced and fried in olive oil, they make the next day's side dish.

Allergens

Vegan, gluten-free, no milk, egg or nuts. Suitable for children and in pregnancy.
