700 g of potatoes;
salt;
1 egg and egg yolk;
2 teaspoons of olive oil;
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg;
100 – 125 g flour;
85 g of finely grated Parmesan cheese;
flour for rolling and semolina flour for sprinkling.
Pour the potatoes in their skins with water, salt and bring to a low boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender so that you can easily pierce them with a fork, but do not boil too much to break them apart.
Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly, then peel them off. The easiest way to do this is when the potatoes are still warm. Mash the potatoes in a bowl with a fork or potato grinder. Try to get rid of the lumps.
Make a depression in the center and sprinkle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon salt. Spread the cheese and ¾ cup flour over the edge of the well. Combine egg, butter, nutmeg and add to the hole. Stir all the ingredients with a fork, and then knead the dough. Add more flour if needed.
Lightly flour the work surface, take a piece of dough and roll it into a thin “log” 1 cm thick. Cut into small pieces and place on a tray of flour (ideally with semolina). Make sure each dumpling is floured.
Dumplings can be cooked directly in boiling salted water. Or refrigerate. Boil the dumplings in salted water. Just don’t throw too much into the pot. As soon as they come up, wait another minute, and then put in the pan along with the sauce. “
