Difficulty Level:

Preparation Method Steps:
- Prepare the potato dough: Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes. Mix in 1/2 cup of flour, breadcrumbs, and milk until a smooth dough forms. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the filling: In a skillet, brown the pork with the onion until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the dumplings: Form small balls of potato dough and flatten them into circles. Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the filling to form a dumpling.
- Cook the dumplings: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the dumplings from the water and drain them on paper towels. Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
