Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (20 dumplings)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons salted butter
3 sprigs thyme, leaves removed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced thinly
Kosher salt
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar
1/4 cup sour cream
20 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and onion. Cook, stirring, until the onions are golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Add the potatoes, cheese and sour cream to a small bowl and mix, then set aside.
  • Working one at a time, lay out a wonton wrapper and use your finger to dampen the edge of the wrapper with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the potato mix in the center of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, sealing the edges and pushing out as much air as possible. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Drop the dumplings into the salted water and cook until they rise to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the dumplings are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine, allowing it to boil and reduce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and remaining 5 tablespoons butter. Continue to stir until the butter is melted and you have a glossy sauce. Serve immediately garnished with more parsley.

  • Make sure the potatoes are peeled and grated finely. This will help the dumplings cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food processor or blender to grate the potatoes.
  • Don't overmix the dumpling dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
  • Bring the water to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the dumplings for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the top of the water.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite gravy or sauce.
