How to Make Potato & Green Onion Dumplings

You will absolutely love this recipe for potato and green onion dumplings! I was craving some potato dumplings and decided to create these and I’m so glad I did. These dumplings burst with flavor including ginger, Thai basil, cilantro, and garlic! Best of all, they are easy to prepare and will freeze for months if you’re meal prepping! I like to freeze them before I cook them so that the dumplings hold their shape. There are so many different ways you can fold a dumpling but I decided to use a braided technique for these. I’m excited to create more types of dumplings and might do some that taste like vegetable samosas next! I hope you enjoy and please let me know in the comments what you think! Sending love to all of you!

4. crimp or fold the dumpling edges in any style you like
5. place the dumplings on a cookie sheet and freeze them before serving, this will hold their shape better
