Gather @potato{800%g} and @all-purpose flour{200%g}.

Boil the potatoes whole in salted water until fully tender, about 20 minutes; drain and let them steam-dry briefly. ~{20%minutes}

Mash or rice the potatoes while still warm and let them cool to just warm.

Work in the @egg{1}, flour and @salt{1%tsp} until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms; do not overwork it.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a log about 2 cm thick; cut on the diagonal into 3 cm pieces to form the classic hoof shape.

Drop the dumplings in batches into a large pot of gently boiling salted water; they're done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface. ~{2%minutes}

Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain well.

Melt the @butter{40%g} in a pan, add the @breadcrumbs{40%g} and toast until golden, then toss with the warm dumplings and @black pepper{} before serving. ~{3%minutes}
