1.
Wash the potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 25 minutes, then drain, peel, and press into a bowl. Let the potato mash cool. Add a pinch of salt, sugar, vanilla, flour, and semolina to the potatoes and mix. Quickly knead in the soft butter and egg yolk with your hands; if needed, add a little more flour.

Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape each into a ball. Wash the apricots, cut them open on one side, remove the pits, and insert one cube sugar piece into each. Flatten the dough balls slightly, wrap the apricots in the dough, and reshape into dumplings again.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add the dumplings, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until cooked through.
