The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The recipe for potato dumplings is quite simple, yet the dumplings themselves turn out wonderful. I've remembered the taste of this dish since childhood, and it always reminds me of genuine home cooking, probably because of the combination of potatoes and crispy pork cracklings. These dumplings are my husband's favorite meal, and I try to treat him to this dish as often as possible, since it's very easy to prepare.

Step 1
Mix flour, eggs, buttermilk, and water to form a fairly firm and elastic dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Mash the boiled potatoes into a puree. Cut the pork fat into small pieces and fry in a skillet. Add chopped onion and cook together until the onion becomes soft. Then transfer the onion and cracklings to the potato puree, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

Step 3
Tightly seal the edges of the dough and place the dumplings onto a floured cutting board. Now you can put them into the freezer, but it's better to eat them right away, as their taste won't be the same after freezing.
