Sweet Potato Dumplings | Sweet Potato Pierogi (Perogies)

Sweet Potato Dumplings are pan fried potstickers that are crispy on the outside and filled with melt in mouth filling of cheese and sweet potato. To enhance the flavor I have also used fresh rosemary-infused-oil to pan fry these potstickers. These are so easy to prepare and tasty that I can bet you will prepare this recipe at home again and again.

Equipment

1 Pan

Ingredients

1 packet Gyoza Wrappers (Potstickers) around 48 wrappers, you can even use any spring roll, egg roll wrappers, wonton wrappers
1 ⅓ cup Sweet potatoes (boiled and mashed) approx 2 big ones are needed
4 oz Pepper jack cheese shredded
⅓ cup Grated parmesan
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Red chile powder
2 tablespoon Cilantro (Coriander leaves) chopped
Salt to taste

Other Ingredients

2 teaspoon Rosemary
3 tablespoon Olive oil / Canola oil

Instructions

Step I

In a large bowl add mashed sweet potatoes, pepper jack cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, chile powder, cilantro, salt to taste, and mix well. Filling is ready.
1 ⅓ cup Sweet potatoes (boiled and mashed), 4 oz Pepper jack cheese shredded, ⅓ cup Grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Onion powder, 1 teaspoon Red chile powder, 2 tablespoon Cilantro (Coriander leaves) chopped, Salt to taste

Step II

Add 3 tablespoon of oil in pan and add rosemary leaves to it. Heat this on medium low flame till the flavors of rosemary is infused in oil. Keep this aside.
2 teaspoon Rosemary, 3 tablespoon Olive oil / Canola oil

Step III

To assemble the dumplings, place wrapper on your working surface. Add filling at the center (about 1 teaspoon) of each wrapper.
1 packet Gyoza Wrappers (Potstickers)
Using your finger, moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Now fold over the filling to create half-moon shape.
Finally pinch the edges to seal using a fork.

Step IV

Working in batches, heat 1 tablespoon of rosemary infused oil from step II in large non-stick pan or skillet. Tilt once so that the oil is spread evenly.
Place the prepared dumplings on the pan about 8 to 10 depending on the size of the pan.
Cook till they are crisp and golden brown on medium flame for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. (check notes)
Repeat the same process for remaining dumplings.
Sweet Potato Dumplings are now ready. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Alternatively instead of pan frying both the sides, you can also pan fry one side and steam on the other side if desired. For that :

Once you add dumplings in the pan, cook till its brown for a minute or two. Then add ⅓ cup water and cover & cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Now uncover and continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated completely and the bottom becomes golden brown and crisp.

Also feel free to use any herb of your choice. I had rosemary on hand and I knew it pairs well with sweet potato. Other choices for herbs may be sage, oregano, basil, thyme, Italian seasoning blend etc.
