Recipe Summary Easy Sweet Potato Dumplings

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!

Ingredients | Sweet Potato Toppings

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

Directions

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.

This can be easily halved. I also have made these appetizer-sized by cutting the crescent rolls in half and quartering the potatoes to yield 32 pieces.

Feel free to use any nuts you like.
