Czech-Style Vegan Potato Dumplings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 medium onions
• 8 ounces mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion and mushrooms. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Then, add the chopped mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are browned. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.

5. 5

   Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, mash them in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of flour and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

6. 6

   Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc and place a spoonful of the onion and mushroom mixture in the center. Fold the dough over to encase the filling and roll into a ball, sealing the edges.

7. 7

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings in batches into the water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface.

8. 8

   While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the mushroom sauce. In a separate saucepan, add 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add any remaining sautéed mushrooms and onions, and let simmer for 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate. Drizzle with the mushroom sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
