Add potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough water to just barely cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so that the potatoes are just about simmering but not fully boiling until tender.
Drain the water from the potatoes. Peel all the potatoes as soon as they are cool enough to touch them.
Transfer the peeled potatoes to a large bowl. Using a potato ricer, mash the potatoes without overworking them. Add the potato starch, salt, and egg. Form the potato mixture into a smooth dough.
At this point, heat a lot of salted water again in a large pot over medium heat. Wet your hands with a little water and form dumplings out of the potato dough. This recipe yields 10 dumplings and they should all be similar sizes.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the dumplings. Immediately turn the heat to low as boiling water will cause the dumplings to fall apart. Initially, they will sink to the bottom of the pot but when they are done, they will float to the surface of the water. They will be done after about 15-20 minutes.
