Ingredients
  

  • 5 medium sized russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup flour + more if needed
  • 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Put potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil. Boil until fork can easily be stabbed through a potato. This step could take 20 minutes.
  • Drain out water, and let potatoes cool on a cooling rack. Once cool, grate or mash potatoes until no more clumps. While doing this, place about 4 cups of water in the same pot and begin to bring to a boil.
  • On a flat surface, sprinkle flour. Add potatoes and seasoning. Knead to mix together. Keep adding flour until potatoes no longer stick to your hands. Roll into quarter size balls.
  • At this point, your water in the pot should be boiling. Throw 1 potato ball in the water. If it floats to the top within 20 seconds, then your water is ready. Add enough potato balls to the water at a time so the pot is full, but the potatoes are not overlapping one another. They will be done when they are floating. Take them out of the water as the begin to rise to the top and place on a cooling rack. Serve your italian Dumplings with your favorite pasta sauce.
