Dumplings with potatoes and mushrooms are almost the most important dish of home cooking. We like that dumplings can be made with a variety of fillings. At the same time, some people like the filling in the potato dumplings themselves in the form of mashed potatoes , while others like the remains of a hard potato texture. The editors of "Food" are inclined to think that you can simply change the density of the minced meat from time to time, respecting both variations of tactile sensations. And you can also diversify the taste of potato dumplings by adding fried bacon or so-called cracklings.
