FAVORITE HERBED POTATOES
"I saw something similar to Favorite Herbed Potatoes prepared on TV and decided to make my own version with herbs I had on hand," writes Naomi Olson of Hamilton, Michigan. "To cut prep time, I substituted fresh potatoes with canned, and we like it just as much...probably even better."

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.
SAVORY HERB POTATO DUMPLINGS IN A BUTTERY CRUST
How to describe this ... I'm not sure. Mashed potatoes mixed with a little flour to give it some body, savory herbs, rolled into golf ball size dumplings. Lightly boiled and then tossed in a bowl with bread crumbs and melted butter. So so so so good. You just have to give this a try. My suggestion, try a simple grilled steak. My Bloody Mary steak is easy quick and very inexpensive and serve with a simple green salad or my creamy parmesan and minted peas. It is just a really different side, but so good. It sort of came from a friend who originally was from Russia, but moved around so much she had just a wealth of knowledge and recipes from all over the world. This was my twist on her version. They are great.

Steps:
- Cook your potatoes -- now I just did mine in the microwave. I poked them with the fork a couple of times and then baked 5 minutes on high - turned over and 5 minutes the other side. I let them cool, cut in half and scooped out the potato to a medium size bowl.
- Now in that bowl, add the potatoes and mash just with a fork, then add the eggs, flour, cheese, salt pepper, scallions and herbs. Mix well.
- Just dust your hands with flour to handle the dough because it will be a little sticky. Make golf ball size dumplings. I like to put mine on a cookie sheet and into the refrigerator for a hour or so to firm up before cooking them. Just lay them out on some foil and then cover with saran wrap or plastic wrap. These can easily be made a day in advance. Just as easy.
- Now just in a large pot of water or large sauce pan, medium boil, boil your "balls" potatoes that is. I like to use a pot so I can see when they float to the surface. They should take about 5-10 minutes depending on the size. And don't try to cook a huge batch at once, Just like frying chicken or anything -- just a few at a time. Just set to the side.
- Best part -- In the same pot that you just cooked the potato balls in, just pour out the water and add butter and the bread crumbs, letter the butter melt and mix with the bread crumbs. Then just roll the ball around it inches That's it. The butter and bread crumbs make such a great flavor to the potatoes.
- This is a first class side dish worth every minute. They are just heavenly.

- Shape the batter into rounds and drop them into simmering stock or water. Allow them to cook for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of herbs. The combination of parsley, chives, and thyme in this recipe is classic, but feel free to experiment with other herbs that you enjoy. Some good options include rosemary, sage, basil, and oregano.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the dumplings tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
- Cook the dumplings in simmering water. Boiling water will make the dumplings too tough. Simmering water will allow them to cook through gently.
- Serve the dumplings immediately. Dumplings are best when served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then reheat them in simmering water before serving.
Conclusion:
These herbed potato dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying side dish, give these dumplings a try!
