Sweet Potato Pan Dumplings with Bacon Butter Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Sweet Potato Pan Dumplings with Bacon Butter Recipe). I started off by boiling these, which turned into a waterlogged mess, so I decided to skip that step and just pan-fry the rest. And voila! The experiment came close to what I wanted--something with the taste of roasted sweet potatoes, but with more of a gnocchi-like texture. Enjoy these as a side dish to grilled pork chops, topped with goat cheese and chopped green onions.
