Directions

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

1. Place sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and add 1/2-inch water.

Dumplings

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes more or until soft and golden brown.

4. Add the onion, cheese, milk and thyme to the mashed sweet potatoes, then season with salt.

5. Place dumpling wrappers on a board in a single layer and place equal amounts of sweet potatoes into the center of each. Brush the empty part of the wrapper with water and pull up one corner into the center of the dumpling. Carefully pleat the wrapper by folding over in 1/2-inch increments until the potato is fully enclosed. Press gently to seal and twist slightly to make a slight pinwheel pattern.

6. Place several inches of water in a large skillet with a lid and bring to a boil. Carefully place dumplings in water and cover skillet.

7. Reduce heat and let steam for 10 minutes.

8. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with chives. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

*While most of the sweet potatoes are close to the same size, there are a few bigger and smaller potatoes in each bag. Choose 8 medium potatoes that are the same size.
