Method

In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg, flour, and herbs. Mix well and form into a dough. Knead for 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender.
While the tomatoes simmer, shape the dough into small dumplings. Cook them in boiling salted water for 10 minutes.
Serve the dumplings with the braised tomatoes.
