hymmm honestly ??? I hear for the first time I always made of what I bought
The best are the ones that are very dry after cooking, you can find such "glider" ones, from which it is difficult to make dumplings, you need a lot more flour to use.
As for the type, it's hard to tell because probably everyone is buying the ones that are currently in the store. However, I confirm that those that are sticky will not be very good at making potato dumplings. Just as not all potatoes are suitable for fries, not all of them will be good for potato dumplings.
Various potatoes are good for dumplings, there is no rule. Old grandmothers have theories that some better others worse, but my wife makes potato dumplings, whatever they are in the store and they are always good.
Potatoes should be tender. Buy by trial and error.
But generally, any potato will come out of each potato, it is not impossible to make potato dumplings out of the potatoes. Sometimes they will simply be softer, melt in the mouth, sometimes more dense.
I make potato dumplings there and they always come out to me. You just have to feel it. Add more or less other ingredients and the dumplings should come out. And if they don't come out it's difficult. It's better to have a quick dish in the freezer if you need one;)
Recently, at Tesco, I buy potatoes packed like this, 2.5 kilos, they say "dinner potatoes" or something like that. Once I made potato dumplings with them, once did French fries, and I did it every time.
It's hard to pick one of the best. It really does not depend on potatoes, but on how you cook them, what proportions you give flour to potatoes. If you give too much flour, it will be chewy. If not enough, they will fall apart. When you hit, the dumplings will be so soft that they melt in your mouth. I have managed to make such soft potato dumplings 3 times recently and I made from various potatoes from various sources (market, ladybug, store at the estate).
Special supermarkets have recently appeared in supermarkets, which state that they are perfect for potato dumplings. I once bought such potatoes and potato dumplings came out delicious.
I always buy potatoes, which are just in the store. It has never happened to me before that the hooves come out. You also need to find the golden mean between all the ingredients for the dough.
The right proportions between flour and potatoes are very important. Otherwise they may crumble or come out too thick.
Kopytka is a type of potato noodles that come from Poland. They are made from boiled potatoes that are mashed and combined with flour, eggs and salt. Small, oval dumplings are formed from the mass and boiled in boiling water. Dumplings can be served with various sauces or marinades, as well as with stewed vegetables or meat.
When choosing potatoes for your potato dumplings, be sure to use a starchy variety such as Russet or Idaho. These types of potatoes will give you a fluffy and light dumpling, as opposed to a dense and heavy one.
While any type of potato can be used with the potato dumplings, some types are better suited to the dish than others. For best results, choose potatoes that are high in starch and low in moisture. Thanks to this, the hooves will be light and fluffy, not thick and heavy. Potatoes are among the best potatoes for potato dumplings Breeze, Typhoon, Etude, Legend, Grace, Ibis russet, Yukon Gold
