Meanwhile, in a small pan heat the butter to prepare the brown sauce. Add the finely chopped onion to it until the onion is golden brown in color. Remove the pan from heat and add a tablespoon of bread crumbs to the hot pan. Now, pour the hot sauce over the potato dumplings. Serve hot dumplings and enjoy!

Tips

Make sure that the potatoes are boiled thoroughly. Make sure that you carefully remove the egg shells while you break the egg. A wiser technique would be to break the egg in a separate bowl first and then use that broken egg for the recipe. You can also prepare the dumplings in advance and then just steam them so that they are hot and soft again, before serving.
