Hungarian Potato Dumplings (Galuska) with Dairy-Free Brown Butter Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Potatoes
• 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Dairy-free butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 1.5 lbs of potatoes and place them in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add 1/2 tsp of the salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C), then reduce the heat to medium and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and very tender. Drain the potatoes completely and mash them thoroughly until smooth.
2. 2Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large bowl and let them cool for 10 minutes, until they are warm but not hot to the touch. Add the 1/2 cup of tapioca starch and the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt to the cooled mashed potatoes, then mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until a cohesive dough forms.
3. 3Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot (e.g., 6-quart / 5.7-liter) with at least 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C).
4. 4Using a small spoon (e.g., a teaspoon), carefully drop small, irregular spoonfuls of the potato dough into the vigorously boiling water. Cook the dumplings for 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface of the water and appear slightly puffed. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the water and set them aside in a bowl.
5. 5Place a 10-inch or 12-inch skillet over medium heat (300-350°F / 150-175°C). Add the 1/2 cup of dairy-free butter to the skillet and melt it completely. Continue to cook the butter, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until it turns a rich golden-brown color and emits a distinct nutty aroma; watch carefully to prevent burning.
6. 6Add all of the cooked dumplings to the skillet with the brown butter sauce and gently toss them to ensure they are evenly coated. Season the dumplings with the 1/2 tsp of black pepper and garnish with the 2 tbsp of fresh parsley, chopped. Serve immediately.
