- egg;
- salt, sunflower oil and ground pepper.
In the process of implementing the recipe, the following actions are performed:

- After cooling, the pulp is extracted from the tubers, which is thoroughly mixed with the yolk separated from the white, flour and spices.

Potato pork dumplings with sausage
You will need:
- 250 g pork
- 250 g fatty bacon
- 250 g ham
- 250 g Vienna sausage
- sauerkraut or salad
For the dumplings:
- 600 g floury potatoes
- 150 g (1 cup) plain flour
- 30 g semolina
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
To make the filling, place the bacon, bacon, ham and sausage through a meat grinder. That's it - don't add anything else!
Do not use a food processor or the meat will stick together and the filling will not have the correct consistency.
Roll the mixture into 10 balls.
To make the potato dough, cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water until tender but still intact (or they will absorb too much water). Alternatively, cook in a steamer. Drain, then peel and mash the hot potatoes.
Do not use a food processor or the potatoes will become sticky.
Add flour, semolina, eggs and salt to the potatoes and, using your hands, knead the dough.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a thick log on a lightly floured work surface. Using a knife, cut each portion into 5 thick slices. Flatten 1 slice with your fingers to about 1cm thick and top with meatballs. Press into the dough, making sure the gnocchi is sealed well, then roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough and meatballs.
Cook the gnocchi in lightly salted boiling water, in batches, for 20 minutes or until they float to the surface. Be sure to turn occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
