Ingredients

2 lb russet potatoes
1 egg
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp butter
2 can (4 oz) sliced mushrooms
2 onions
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp parsley
bread crumbs (optional)

Steps

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, drain them, and cool until easy to handle.
Mash the potatoes, mix in the egg and salt, then knead in the flour until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into ropes, cut it into dumplings, and rest the pieces for 10 minutes.
Melt the butter in a large skillet, cook the onions for 10 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.
Boil the dumplings in salted water in batches for 3 to 4 minutes after they float, then toss them with the sauce and parsley.
