# Method:
01 - Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add egg and warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
02 - Boil diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Stir in crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, sour cream, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let cool.
03 - Roll dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch rounds. Place 1 tablespoon of filling onto each round. Moisten edges with water, fold into a half-moon, and pinch edges to seal.
04 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook dumplings in batches for 4 to 5 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.
05 - Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry boiled dumplings for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
06 - Arrange dumplings on a platter and garnish with extra sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, and bacon bits as desired.
