Peel and quarter the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat and mash the potatoes to remove excess moisture. This should take about 2 minutes.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a large bowl. Allow them to cool slightly, so they are warm but not hot to the touch.
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg to the mashed potatoes.
Using your hands, gently knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough to maintain a tender texture.
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1-inch in diameter.
Cut each log into 1-inch pieces; these are your dumplings.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the dumplings into the water in batches, ensuring they do not stick together.
Cook the dumplings for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked dumplings and sauté until they are golden brown on the edges, about 5 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or with your favorite sauce!
