Instructions

1. 1.

   For the dumplings, peel, wash, and boil the potatoes in salted water for about 30 minutes. Drain and press the hot potatoes through a potato masher. Knead with flour, egg, a pinch of salt, and nutmeg into a smooth dough.

   Bring plenty of salted water to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the boiling water.

   Season the quark with salt and pepper. With damp hands, shape dumplings from the potato dough, press a deep hollow in the center, and fill with quark.
