Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 500ml (2 cups) of water
- 800g (6 3/8 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1kg boiled potatoes
- 50g butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 250g cheese (of your choice), grated
- 140g salami slices
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, olive oil, water, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes to ensure it’s pliable and easy to work with.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, mash the boiled potatoes with the butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Divide the rested dough into four equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spoon a generous portion of the prepared mashed potato mixture onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over the potato mixture, and then layer on the salami slices.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, carefully transfer the filled dumplings to the pan.
- Cook the dumplings for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the cheesy potato and salami pan-fried dumplings hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple side salad.
