These sweet potato dumplings are are a great appetizer to make year-round but are especially perfect to make around the holidays.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love candied sweet potatoes, you need to try this simple recipe. Callie suggests serving these as an appetizer, but they are a delicious dessert too. Sweet potato patties can be found in the frozen food aisle at grocery stores. Turning them into nuggets is a great way to use them. The crescent roll dough holds in the sweet potato and creates the dumpling. While cooking, it is swimming in a buttery and sweet syrup. Dusted with cinnamon it's the perfect complement of flavors.
