Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, semolina and salt. Knead until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Divide the dough into portions. Roll each into a thin rope about 1.5cm in diameter, then cut into 3cm pieces. Roll each piece between your palms to form small dumplings.

Step 4

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the dumplings in batches until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

Step 5

Mix the ground poppy seeds and powdered sugar together in a bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the warm dumplings with melted butter, then toss in the poppy seed-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7

Serve warm, optionally with an extra dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
