Potato dumplings filled with seasoned ground meat, shaped by hand and boiled until tender. Dough is made from raw and cooked potatoes, which gives dumplings a firm but soft texture. Commonly served hot with butter or fried onion. In this dish, you can use cooked leftover meat from chicken broth. The meat can simply be blended using an immersion (hand) blender.
