Dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms are very tasty
Dumplings with this filling are among the most popular, so I put this recipe in first place. But don’t think that this is the most delicious option and immediately settle on it. The following recipes are no worse.
Ingredients:
- Flour - 3 cups
- Water – 250 ml
- Potato starch - 1 tablespoon
- Salt - 0.5 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil - 1 teaspoon
- Medium potatoes - 5-6 pcs.
- Champignons – 300 gr
- Onion - 1 pc.
- Dill greens - 1 bunch
Cooking steps:
1. Pour 3 tablespoons of cold water into a bowl with starch and stir. Set the remaining water to boil. When the water boils, pour it into the already diluted starch, stir and cool to room temperature.
2. Pour 2 cups of flour into a large bowl, add salt and pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Pour in the cooled jelly. Mix everything and start kneading the dough.
3. While kneading, gradually add the remaining flour. And start kneading with your hands. Knead it until it becomes soft and elastic, like plasticine, and stops sticking to your hands. Then put it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
4. For the filling, peel the potatoes, cut them as you like, add water and let them cook. Salt the water and add a couple of bay leaves.
5. Cut the onion into small cubes. Fry it in vegetable oil until golden brown. You can add a little salt and pepper to it.
6. Wash the mushrooms too, peel off excess and cut as you like. Then place them in another frying pan, add salt, pepper and also fry in vegetable oil.
7. Place the fried mushrooms in a blender bowl and grind a little, but not completely into a pulp, but so that small pieces remain.
8. By then the potatoes will have time to boil. Remove it from the heat and drain the water into another container. Then mash the potatoes, adding broth (you can also use milk). You can add butter or vegetable oil. Next, add chopped mushrooms, fried onions and chopped dill. Mix everything evenly and the filling is ready. Leave it to cool a little.
At this stage, control yourself.
