A dish like dumplings has been around for many years, but it still remains a favorite for many of us. There are many delicious fillings, sweet and not, and they are all very tasty in their own way. In this recipe, I suggest you prepare equally delicious dumplings with mashed potatoes and minced meat, and also try making the dough with the addition of sour cream and milk. It will turn out very tasty.

Ingredients for the dough:

• Milk – 1 glass
• Sour cream – 2 tbsp.
• Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.

Filling ingredients:

• Mashed potatoes

• Vegetable oil for frying onions

Preparation of the dough:

Beat eggs into a mixer bowl and add sour cream, salt,

Stir until smooth, pour in milk and gradually add sifted flour. Knead into a tight dough.

Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes, then the dough will be more elastic and good for making dumplings. While the dough is lying, there is time to make the filling.

Preparing the filling:

Boil the potatoes in advance. Everything is simple here, peel, wash, cut into cubes, place in a pan, add water, add salt and cook for 20 minutes. Drain and crush with a masher. That's it, the mashed potatoes are ready.

You can buy minced meat ready-made or buy meat and grind it through a meat grinder.

Peel the onion and finely chop. Leave part of the onion for frying, which will be used for ready-made, boiled dumplings.

Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the minced meat,

add onion, add salt and ground black pepper.

Pass the finished minced meat with onions through a meat grinder onto a fine mesh.

Mix the minced meat well with mashed potatoes,

taste, add spices if necessary.

Transfer to a bowl to let the filling cool.

Let's start making dumplings:

Mash it with your hands and add a small amount of flour, divide it into parts, roll each part into a thin layer with a rolling pin, squeeze out circles.

Place a teaspoon of cooled filling in the middle of each circle, carefully pinch the edges, make sure that all the edges are really well stuck together, otherwise during cooking all the filling will float in the water, and you will have to eat one dough or completely throw away all your work.

And of course, the beloved family will remain hungry. So try to make dumplings with minced meat and potatoes well and efficiently.

Well, all the dumplings are stuck together, you can freeze them for use or cook them right away.

Take a deep pan, 2.5 - 3 liters, pour water into more than half the pan, add salt, put on fire, wait for the water to boil and carefully lower one dumpling into the water. Just don’t cook all the dumplings at once, cook them in small portions. As soon as the dumplings float to the surface, reduce the heat and cook for 7 minutes. Personally, I don’t need to look at the clock, I can determine their readiness by their appearance, they become snow-white, and this indicates that the dough has already been cooked and can be placed on a large plate with a slotted spoon. When all the dumplings are boiled, then you can sprinkle them with fried onions. Or any other sauce you like. And quickly serve before they cool down.

Bon appetit!!!
