Gluten-Free Sweet Potato German Dumplings

Jump to Recipe Rate The Recipe

Growing up, my grandma used to make dumplings as a special treat. Her old German recipe, she always said they were the best with day old potatoes. Every time I have sweet potatoes left over I wonder if they would make good dumplings. So I finally took the plunge and made some. I had to make them gluten free of course. I am so happy I did! These have quickly become a staple in our rotation. The are so versatile, you can eat them with many different sauces or use them in soup! My Grandma would be proud that I have re-created her classic dumplings and made them healthier sweet potato german dumplings! Miss you Grannie, XOXO.

  3. This sounds delicious but the cassava flour has a ton of carbs. I try to stick with coconut or almond. Do you think either of those will work or do I need to bite the bullet and try cassava?

    1. I think almond and coconut would make a super dense dumpling. Coconut would be better but not as good as cassava. The cassava flour is awesome. Give it a go 🙂

      1. Coconut flour disintegrates in the boiling water. I tried it.

        I used the all-purpose gluten free flour and it worked great, actually. But.. coconut… dumpling disaster of 2016.

  4. Aww, my German grandmother makes these too! I think, if I have it spelled right, she calls it Griessnockerl and it’s dumplings in a brothy soup. Mmmm, good memories!! Thanks for sharing with us.

  6. Hello Kate, thank you very much for your recipes. A generale request: would it be possible to include in the printing/pdf downloading version of them also the comments? Often in there I find very useful additional tips.

    1. I make a sweet butter sauce that I over them: organic sugar and grass-fed butter. My Grandma made sweetened dumplings that way
