Sausage Stuffed Potato Dumplings
Mashed potato is turned into dumplings that are stuffed with sausage meat.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (453 grams) turkey or pork sausage, removed from it's casing
- 1 cup (128) grams yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 5 cups (700 grams) leftover mashed potato * see note
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon flour
- Vegetable oil
Instructions
- To a sauté pan over medium heat, add the sausage meat, onion, sage and fennel. Cook while breaking up the meat as it browns, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- To the mashed potato add the salt, pepper, egg and flour. Mix well until the egg and flour are well combined. Take a golf ball size handful of potato and shape into a flat pancake. Place 1 tablespoon of sausage in the center, then place another pancake of potato on top, sealing the edges. Shape into 'hockey' puck shapes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- To a sauté pan add the oil ,1/4 full over medium heat. Once the oil starts to ripple, carefully add 3 dumplings (don't overcrowd the pan). Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve warm.
Notes
* A quick way to cook potatoes: Prick holes in whole potatoes with a fork and microwave them 1 at a time on high for 4 minutes, turn over and repeat. Allow to cool enough to handle, then they are easy to peel and mash.
