I’ll provide step-by-step instructions and tips for three different methods: steaming, pan-frying, and boiling. Method 1: SteamAs with the Thuringia-style dumplings, you do want to use a starchy potato variety. That way you won’t have to add as much refined potato starch to the dumpling batter.

I also recommend using a pasta roller attachment with an electric stand-mixer to roll out the dumpling wrappers. You will need a 1:1-mixture of all-purpose flour and starch to bind the dough. Cooked potatoes are wet. The flour and starch mixture will soak up the excess moisture and give them a firmer texture. But don’t overdo it with the starch unless you want industrial-style rubber gum dumplings. How to cook your potato dumplings Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then turn down the heat to keep it just below a light simmer. Ideally, anytime the water comes up to a vigorous boil, add 1/4 cup of cold water. This cools the water down and prevents the dumpling wrappers from overcooking and becoming starchy.Add about ½ cup water to the pan and immediately cover. Allow to steam in the pan until all the water has cooked off, about 7 minutes.
