Wash, boil and peel the potatoes and press them hot through a potato ricer. Mix hot mashed potatoes with flour. Mix in egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of salt and stir until smooth. Form the dough into a roll with floured hands and cut into 20 even slices. Wash the apricots, dab dry and remove the stones. Instead of the stones, put a piece of sugar cube into each fruit. Press one portion of dough flat, place 1 apricot on top and roll into a dumpling.
Bring about 4 litres of salted water to the boil and cook 10 dumplings in each. The dumplings are done as soon as they float on the surface (after about 10 minutes). Take them out with a skimmer and let them drip off. Melt the remaining butter in a pan. Add breadcrumbs and sugar and fry until golden brown. Roll the hot dumplings in it and serve dusted with icing sugar. Serve with vanilla sauce
