Foodie Friday Flashback: Sweet Potato Dumplings

I didn't have a new recipe to share with you today, so I thought I'd post an oldie. I've come a long way since I started blogging. This one doesn't even have a picture!! Maybe I need to go back and take some pictures because let me tell you these things are AWESOME!

This recipe is one of my family's favorites. It took a long time before we got it. Our former pastor's wife used to make this one for our church pot lucks and my husband begged her to give me the recipe on multiple occasions and she would politely deflect the conversation to something else. I guess she didn't want anyone one else to get credit for these yummy, yummy sweet potatoes. :)



They eventually took a new position at another church and moved away. That was when I inherited this recipe and a big box of sweet potatoes. Maybe I should protect this one? But I've never been a recipe keeper, I like sharing recipes as much as I like sharing the food itself.

While the recipe isn't 100% from scratch (it uses canned biscuits), it could be if you are a skilled biscuit maker.

Sweet Potato Dumplings

• Sweet Potatoes
• Canned Biscuits
• 2 Sticks Butter/Margarine
• 2 Cups Hot Water
• 2 Cups Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut potato into slices. Roll out biscuit. Put potato slice on biscuit and envelope, make sure to seal each potato slice really well. Put butter/margarine in dish and then place in oven to melt the butter. Roll each dumpling in butter and then place close together in dish. Mix the water, sugar and cinnamon and then bring to a boil until it is dissolved. Pour the cinnamon mix over the dumplings and then bake at 350 degrees for up to 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Enjoy!
