Cook Alyona (alonka_good ) shared on Instagram a recipe for delicious dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms that are fluffy and tasty.

Ingredients:

• flour - 480 g

• hot water - 2280 ml
• salt - 1 tsp.

• oil - 1 tbsp.

For the filling:

• potatoes - 400 g

• mushrooms - 250 g
• onion - 1 pc.
• salt - a pinch

• Sour cream - 1-2 tbsp.

Method of preparation:

1. Boil the potatoes, mash them.

2. Cut the mushrooms into thin slices or cubes and fry covered for 2 minutes, then uncovered to evaporate the moisture, add the finely chopped onion and fry with the mushrooms, salt to taste. Add them to the mashed potatoes and mix.

3. Dough: Pour hot water with salt and oil into the flour, knead first with a spoon and then with your hands so that the dough stops sticking to your hands, and becomes elastic and resilient. Leave it for 15-20 minutes under the film.

4. Divide the dough into two parts, roll out a thin layer, and cut out circles, roll them out again and put a spoonful of filling in each, pinch the edges.

5. Bring the water to a boil, add the dumplings, and cook for 5 minutes.

Serve the dumplings with sour cream or herbs!
