Place a few small pieces of bread or breadcrumbs in the middle of the dumpling dough and seal. This makes the potato dumplings nice and soft on the inside and more likely to cook through.

Extremely tasty and yet different taste. Unusual is this cocoa in the casserole. But this harmonizes wonderfully with the cherries. Who prefers a sour note takes sour cherries and who loves it sweeter normal sweet cherries. It does not matter whether they are used fresh or frozen. The frozen cherries must of course be very drained, so that the dough is not extremely soggy.
