Potato dumpling Like pizza, dumpling is made with a dough similar to pizza dough. Here is a brief recipe for donut dough. If you have never made dough at home, I suggest you read how to make homemade pizza dough. Preparing dough has points that must be observed. This way you can be sure that you will have a delicious donut. Potato donut is basically a kind of Russian food. 

In Russia, this food is very popular and it is made in different ways. But the differences between these methods are not great. Sometimes, in addition to hot potatoes and onions, vegetables such as dill or grated cheese are added to the ingredients in the dumpling. Most of the time, a donut is fried in oil. 

But it can also be prepared in the oven. We will tell you both methods here. French fries are crispier. But preparing it in the oven consumes less oil and can be said to be healthier. Grate a little fresh mozzarella cheese in mashed potatoes to make your dumplings much tastier. I'm sure you will not regret trying it.
