This can be a veggie dish or a desert. They are so yummy and easy to make. I tried these at a family reunion and searched the room to find out who made them and begged the recipe!

Time 40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
32 ounces frozen sweet potato patties
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup margarine
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Unroll crescent rolls and lay flat on a work surface. Cut sweet potato patties in half. Roll 1 half-patty in a crescent roll, stretching dough to cover patty completely and make a dumpling. Repeat with remaining patties and rolls.
  • Place walnuts in a plate. Dip dumplings into nuts, pressing down to coat the top. Place coated dumplings in a 9x12-inch glass baking dish, nut-side up.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine water, sugar, margarine, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat just until sugar and margarine are dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour sauce over dumplings in the baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
