Make the dumplings first so the dough sets for a bit - whisk the flour, salt, and water together in a small bowl. Add the oil and whisk again, set aside.
Prep the veggies: mince the garlic, onions, carrots, and cube the potatoes.
Heat the oil in a large stockpot. Add the minced onions, cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the carrots, garlic, dill, and black pepper. Cook for another two minutes.
Add the boiling water, cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the carrots are soft.
Add the salt & potatoes, cover and cook for another 10 minutes, until the potatoes can easily be poked with a fork.
Time to add the dumplings! I like mine larger, so I use a tablespoon, but a teaspoon works for smaller dumplings. Add them to the pot one at a time, cover and boil on medium heat for another 7 minutes.
Add parsley and taste for salt. Enjoy & share!
