Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes cooked
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions optional

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Potato masher
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, egg, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Cut the dough into squares or circles about 2 inches wide.
  6. If using, sauté the chopped onions in olive oil until golden.
  7. Place a small spoonful of the onion mixture in the center of each dumpling. Fold and pinch the edges to seal.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the dumplings in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until they float.

Notes

Serve with a light salad or top with a sage brown butter sauce for extra flavor.
