Ingredients
- 2 cups instant potato flakes (you may use flavored instant potato flakes)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (may omit if desired I like to add it in)
- 1 teaspoon salt (I use seasoned salt)
- 2 cups hot water
- 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed (start with 1 1/2 cups)
- Oil, as needed)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Boil water in a medium pot until at a light simmer.
-
Step 2: Meanwhile pour about 3 tablespoons oil in a medium bowl.
-
Step 3: Place the instant potato flakes, garlic powder and salt in a medium bowl; add in hot water and stir with a spoon until thickened (about 1 minute). Mix in beaten eggs until combined.
-
Step 4: Add in 1 1/2 cups flour, mix well to create a manageable dough (if the mixture seems too moist add in a small amount more of flour until the dough holds together, you may need up to 2 cups flour).
-
Step 5: Using hands gently knead the dough until smooth.
-
Step 6: Using floured hands pinch off a little over 1 tablespoon of dough then roll into a ball or desired shape (at this point you may freeze).
-
Step 7: Drop into the simmering water until they rise to the top (this will only take about 2-3 minutes).
-
Step 8: Remove with a slotted spoon and place into the oiled bowl.
