Servings 6 -8 servings (about 20 dumplings)

Ingredients
  

  • 36 ounces 1L water or chicken broth, for boiling the potatoes and matzo balls
  • 1 pound 450g Yukon gold or red bliss potatoes (about 2 large), peeled and sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup 50g potato starch
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml olive oil, schmaltz or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon 10g fresh minced dill
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Combine the water or broth (I used broth) and sliced potatoes in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat, remove the potatoes and allow them to cool for 10 minutes or so. Reserve the water in the pot- you’ll use it to cook the matzo balls.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, whisk together the eggs, potato starch, olive oil, dill, salt, black pepper and onion pepper. Once the potatoes have cooled off a bit, mash them into the egg mixture, making sure everything is well incorporated.
  • Bring the pot of water back up to a simmer. To make the matzo balls, you can either roll them into balls with your hands, about a heaping tablespoon each, or you can scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop with a lever.
  • Drop the matzo balls into the simmering water and cook for 15 minutes. Serve in piping hot chicken soup. I used chicken broth with carrots, celery and more dill!
