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.
For the Sweet Potato Dumplings filling, I have boiled sweet potatoes that yield around 1 1/3 cup mashed ones. To this I have added Pepper Jack cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, red chile powder, and cilantro. Feel free to vary the spices and cheese as per your taste.
To enhance the flavor, I have prepared fresh rosemary-infused-oil. On medium flame, heat oil along with fresh rosemary for about 3 to 5 minutes or till the rosemary aroma is infused in the oil. Use this for pan frying the dumplings in batches.
I have kept the potstickers folding very simple, Once you add the filling at the center of each wrapper, moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper over the filling, seal the edges using a fork, and you are done.
