Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) crescent rolls
1 pkg sweet potato patties (cut in half)
2 c sugar
2 c water
1 1/2 stick butter
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp cinnamon for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • 2. Cut each patty in half.
  • 3. Open and unroll the crescent rolls. Separate the triangles. Place each sweet potato patty on the wide end of each triangle.
  • 4. As you roll up each sweet potato half in the crescent roll, tuck the ends in. They don't have to be perfect, they don't have to be sealed so it's okay if the sweet potatoes aren't completely covered.
  • 5. After you finish rolling them up, place them in a 9x13" glass baking dish with the pointy end of the crescent roll facing down.
  • 6. In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and corn starch. Mix well. Add the butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  • 7. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • 8. Pour the sugar mixture over the dumplings.
  • 9. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • 10. Bake in the preheated 350° F oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • 11. Let sit 15-20 minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO DUMPLINGS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Sweet Potato Dumplings Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tubes (cans) refrigerated crescent rolls (I used Pillsbury brand)
8 frozen sweet potato (yam) patties, partially thawed
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
good pinch of salt
1 cup Mountain Dew soda
1 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional (I used ReaLemon)
5 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon for sprinkling the tops
(NOTE: You can omit the Mountain Dew and increase the amount of water to 2 cups.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. You will need two 11x7 (or equivalent) baking dishes. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the Mountain Dew, water, and lemon juice. Cut the butter in pieces (so it melts quicker) and add to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then boil for 3 to 4 minutes, reducing heat if necessary. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla. Set aside to cool a bit. On a piece of foil on the counter, unroll the crescents and with a sharp knife cut along the triangle perforations. Cut each of the sweet potato patties in half, you will have 16 pieces. Place one patty half on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up, tucking in the ends. (It's okay if the patties aren't completely covered.) Place 8 of them, with pointy ends of rolls facing down, in each of the baking dishes. Pour half the sauce over each pan of dumplings. Sprinkle tops lightly with cinnamon. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and spoon the thickened sauce over the dumplings. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or room temperature with whipped cream or topping.

SWEET POTATO ASIAN DUMPLINGS



Sweet Potato Asian Dumplings image

from Broke Ass Gourmet. She says "If you have never made dumplings before, this is a good recipe to start with. The sweet potato mixture is incredibly easy to work with, the ingredients are straightforward (but complex-tasting, once they all come together), and the rolling, while tricky at first, is easy to master."

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 30 dumplings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut int 1 inch chunks (garnet yam)
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, plus more for dipping
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 medium shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro or 2 tablespoons chives
1/2 inch ginger, peeled and grated
30 small round wonton skins
vegetable oil or coconut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Cook sweet potato chunks in a covered pot of boiling water until very tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse until cool to the touch. Transfer sweet potato to a mixing bowl.
  • Use the back of a fork to mash the sweet potato until mostly smooth. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, shallot, garlic, cilantro or chives, and ginger, and stir well.
  • To assemble the dumplings, brush the edges of a won ton skin lightly with water (use a clean finger or a small pastry brush). Place about a teaspoon of the sweet potato mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and make 5-6 small pleats as you seal the wrapper together, pinching gently to ensure total closure. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers, until all the dumplings are made.
  • To cook the dumplings, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large non-stick frying pan (make sure it has a fitted lid and set it near the stove), over medium heat. Working in batches, arrange the dumplings close to one another (but not touching) in the pan) and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until a golden crust begins to develop on the bottom. Flip the dumplings, and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes, until a crust develops.
  • Carefully pour about 3 tbsp water over the dumplings, then cover the pan quickly and let steam for about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and let the dumplings aerate until the excess water is cooked away and the bottoms become crisp again.
  • Transfer the cooked dumplings to a serving platter, repeat with the remaining uncooked dumplings, then serve immediately, with soy sauce (or your favorite asian sauce) for dipping.
