| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Defrost and Drain Spinach: Begin by defrosting the frozen spinach and draining any excess liquid. |
| 2 | Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes, then boil them until they are soft. Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly. |
| 3 | Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, drained spinach, lightly beaten egg white, sifted flour, and pepper. Combine well until a uniform mixture forms. |
| 4 | Chill Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator until it is cold to the touch. This will help the dumplings hold their shape better during cooking. |
| 5 | Shape Dumplings: With floured hands, take tablespoons of the mixture and roll them into balls. |
| 6 | Cook Dumplings: Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Drop a quarter of the dumplings into the water at a time. |
| 7 | Simmer: Once the dumplings rise to the surface of the water, let them simmer for an additional 3 minutes. |
| 8 | Remove and Drain: Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked dumplings from the water and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess water. |
| 9 | Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings in batches until they are all cooked. |
| 10 | Serve: Serve the Potato and Spinach Dumplings hot, accompanied by a vegetarian spaghetti sauce of your choice. |
