Make it

Method

1. 01

   Cut the bread into small cubes, pour over the milk with the salt and leave for 10 minutes so it softens without becoming wet.

2. 02

   Grate the potatoes and cheese. Fold them into the soaked bread with the eggs and parsley. Fry the finely diced onion in half the butter until soft, cool for 2 minutes, then mix it in with the flour.

3. 03

   With damp hands form 8 compact, flattened dumplings. If the mixture feels loose, rest it for 5 minutes rather than adding extra flour immediately.

4. 04

   Heat the remaining butter over medium heat. Fry the dumplings for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and hot through. Divide 2 dumplings per serving and serve immediately.
