Classic Austrian dessert made from a fluffy potato dough, filled with spiced plum jam and tossed in golden-brown buttered breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

1
Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel them, and press through a potato ricer while still hot. Let the mixture cool completely.
2
Knead the potato mixture with 20 g of butter, flour, semolina, salt, and egg yolk into a smooth dough.
3
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 5 mm and cut out palm-sized circles.
4
Stir the plum jam in a bowl with the rum and cinnamon until smooth.
5
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.
6
Brush the edges of the dough with egg white, fold over, and press the edges firmly with a fork.
7
Cook the turnovers in gently simmering salted water until they float to the surface.
8
Meanwhile, toast the breadcrumbs in a pan with a little butter until golden brown.
9
Remove the finished turnovers with a slotted spoon, let them drain briefly, and toss them in the breadcrumbs.
