Step 1
1. Mash the potato puree with a fork to remove lumps (do this if the puree is cold). Add 1 egg, a pinch of salt, and a cup of flour to the puree. Knead the dough. The dough should turn out firm, similar to that for lazy vareniki, with potato being the main ingredient. The flour is added only to make the dough easier to handle and to prevent the dumplings from falling apart during cooking. Knead the dough and set it aside.

2. Lightly dust the work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Roll each part into a sausage shape. Cut each sausage into segments. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Dip your thumb in flour and make an indentation in each ball. This indentation is necessary to hold the sauce in the finished dish. The sauce will collect in this depression, allowing you to enjoy a complete bite. The sauce won't run off the dumpling.
