Best 8 Potato Dumplings With Goat Cheese Recipes

POTATO DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
• Add the potatoes, cheese and sour cream to a small bowl and mix, then set aside.
• Working one at a time, lay out a wonton wrapper and use your finger to dampen the edge of the wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mix in the center of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, sealing the edges and pushing out as much air as possible. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Drop the dumplings into the salted water and cook until they rise to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the dumplings are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, allowing it to boil and reduce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and remaining 5 tablespoons butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and you have a glossy sauce. Serve immediately garnished with more parsley.

POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a 1 1/2-quart gratin dish with the butter.
• Make a layer of overlapping potato slices on the bottom of the dish and sprinkle with half of the garlic and 1/3 of the goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, the remaining garlic, another 1/3 of the cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Finish with a final layer of potatoes and the remaining cheese and season with salt and pepper. Pour the heavy cream over the top of the potatoes and, using your hands, press to condense the layers slightly. Make sure the potatoes are all covered with cream.
• Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbly and golden brown on top and the potatoes are cooked through. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

POTATO AND GOAT CHEESE PIEROGI

Steps:

• Place potato in a large pan, and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium, and cook until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain, and holding the potato with a kitchen towel, peel while hot. Pass potato through a food mill, fitted with the finest disk, or a potato ricer into a large bowl.
• Add goat cheese, shallot, egg yolk, cream, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper, and mix well using a wooden spoon.
• To form dumplings, place a circle of pierogi dough on a work surface, and put a heaping teaspoon filling toward the front of the circle. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, and fold in half around the filling to form a semicircle, firmly pinching the edges closed. Set aside on a lightly floured baking sheet. Continue to fill and form pierogi, keeping them covered with plastic wrap, until all the dough is used up.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and add half the pierogi. Boil gently until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Lift out with a slotted spoon, and repeat with remaining pierogi. Serve immediately.

POTATO GRATIN WITH GOAT CHEESE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously butter 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Arrange 1/3 of potatoes in bottom of prepared dish, overlapping slightly and covering completely. Pour 1/3 of cream mixture over. Repeat layering potatoes and cream mixture 2 more times. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown in spots, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve hot.

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH POTATO DUMPLINGS WITH BACON GRAVY

Steps:

• Making the Goat Cheese Filling: Add all ingredients into a small bowl, blend together with a fork, and set aside in refrigerator.
• Mixing together the Potato Dumpling Dough: In a large mixing bowl add mashed potatoes, flour, egg, along with salt and pepper. Stir together with a wooden spoon or your hands into a thick, slightly sticky dough. Dip hands in flour, as needed, and divide dough into 8 golf-sized pieces. Dust with flour if needed, flatten each piece and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
• Assembling the Potato Dumplings: On the center of each piece of flattened dough spoon a heaping teaspoon of goat cheese filling. Fold dough, like a taco, encasing filling in the dough, then roll into a ball. Roll in a bowl of unbleached flour, dust off, and place back on the sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Let rest in refrigerator, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes. (Note: Spread any leftover goat cheese filling on a water cracker -- truly a tasty treat for the cook :).
• Preparing the Country-Style Bacon Gravy: Place bacon strips on a baking pan covered with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool, crumble, and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. In a small saucepan, stir together milk, chicken broth, whole allspice, and bay leaf. Over high heat, bring this mixture just to steaming, immediately turn to low and steep liquid with spices, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat to sizzling. Toss in onions and red peppers, stir to coat with olive oil. Sweat veggies, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn heat to medium, add red pepper flakes, garlic, butter chunks, and stir until butter is melted. Sprinkle flour over the veggie/butter mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, so mixture does not stick or burn in the saute pan. Strain the spices from the milk and chicken broth. Now, vigorously whisk in 1/2 of the hot liquid into the veggie/flour mixture; sauce will thicken. Pour in the remaining hot liquid, continue to occasionally whisk over medium heat until thickened and heated through (do not bring to a boil). Remove from heat, mix in the 6 slices of crumbled bacon, and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
• Cooking and Serving the Potato Dumplings: Over high heat bring a large pot of water to boiling; add a pinch or two of salt, if desired. Turn down to medium high heat, carefully drop in the prepared potato dumplings, give the boiling water a stir to make sure potato dumplings are not stuck to the bottom of the pot, and then tightly cover the pot. Boil for 15-20 minutes (the light and fluffy dumplings will float to the top). With a slotted spoon, scoop out the potato dumplings into bowls, smother with 1/2 cup of the hot bacon gravy garnished with bacon crumbles and chopped green onion tops. Steamed carrot coins or a green salad compliment this dish nicely as a side.

POTATO DUMPLINGS I

Steps:

• The day before, boil potatoes with the skins on until tender. Cook enough to make at least 6 cups cold riced potatoes. Peel the potatoes, and rice them. Refrigerate them until needed.
• Brown 2 to 3 pieces of bread in butter or margarine for croutons. Cut into small pieces, and let cool.
• Combine riced potatoes, 5 or 6 beaten eggs, salt, and flour. Add croutons, and mix together. The mixture should stick together. Too much flour will make them heavy.
• Form into balls about the size of tennis balls. Drop into boiling water in a large pot. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO PAN DUMPLINGS WITH BACON BUTTER

Steps:

• Place sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate. Poke holes all over and microwave until completely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool briefly.
• Cut sweet potato in half and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash thoroughly while still warm. Add egg, goat cheese, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Add flour; mix with a spatula until no dry spots remain. Cover dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add bacon. Cook and stir until bacon is just starting to crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fry 5 dumplings at a time in the hot butter until golden brown and crusty, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining dumplings. Plate the dumplings and top each serving with some bacon butter.

GOAT CHEESE DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Put the goat cheese, ricotta, egg yolks, Activa, salt, and cayenne in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle.
• Spray the inside of a magnetic sphere mold or spherical ice cube tray with nonstick cooking spray and wipe it with a dry paper towel. The fine film remaining will ease the unmolding process. Close the sphere mold and fill each cavity, squeezing the cheese mixture through the top opening. Fill all the spheres and tap the mold on the counter to force out any air bubbles. If necessary, top off the mold with any remaining goat cheese. Alternatively, you could substitute small chocolate molds for the spheres. Loosely cover the top of the sphere mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for eighteen hours.
• Remove the mold from the refrigerator and carefully remove the top section. The spheres will have set and there will be a small extension on each sphere from the fill hole. Use a paring knife to cut this cheese extension off of each sphere. Gently remove each sphere from the mold and place in a shallow container.
• To serve, gently warm the spheres in simmering water to heat through. When hot, remove them from the water and place them in a serving dish with the desired sauce and glaze.
