Quick dumplings
Description
Quick dumplings are ready. The main thing is to boil the potatoes; making the dough and cooking the dumplings quickly is very fast and easy. Sometimes I use leftover mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes from yesterday, then it's even quicker. And these quick dumplings are delicious! With sour cream and fried onions — simply irresistible.
