A comforting and creamy potato soup with a touch of homestyle goodness.
Peel and dice the potatoes and chop the onion.
Uniformly diced potatoes ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the potatoes and onion. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
Test the potatoes with a fork to check for doneness.
Drain the water and add the milk, salt, pepper, and parsley to the pot. Heat gently while stirring.
Stir continuously to prevent the milk from scorching.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and flour. Mix in the egg and milk to form a batter.
The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when dropped.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the simmering soup. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Ensure the soup is gently simmering to cook the dumplings evenly.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
