Preparation of plum dumplings:
Step 1 Boil the potatoes in salted water, let them cool and then press them through a ricer or a grinder.
Step 2 Wash the plums, cut them lengthwise and remove the pits, being careful not to separate the halves.
Step 3 Add the flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt to the potatoes. Knead into a smooth dough.
Step 4 Add about half a teaspoon of sugar to the center of each plum.
Step 5: In a wide pot, bring water to a boil and add salt to taste. Cut off a piece of dough, flatten it in your hand, place a plum in it, and wrap it in the dough. Form a dumpling shape and set aside on a floured surface. The above proportions will yield approximately 25-30 dumplings, depending on the size of the plums.
Step 6: Cook the plum dumplings in salted water for about 4-5 minutes after they float to the surface. The water should be hot but not boiling. Once cooked, drain and arrange on a plate. Serve with sour cream mixed with sugar and vanilla sugar.
