This was a fun challenge =D. I enjoyed making these, but they took a really long time. At least a couple of hours of just folding up dumplings. All by myself... If I make these again, I will definitely make these with someone. Somehow sitting in a chair folding for a very long time looses its excitement after awhile. Shocking. Anyways, once I finished and cooked these, they were okay. My mom loved them, but I found that the gnocchi was better. In case you were wondering, I made dumplings with a potato, cheese and onion filling. I figured that making them that way would guarantee that my whole family would like them. And, it did. My brother and dad liked them as well as my mom and I.
Without further adieu, here are the photos:
First off, the onions carmelize...
And the potatoes boil (then get mashed)
It all gets mixed together with the cheese...
And with a dash of movie magic, it gets enveloped by a dumpling wrapper, or two.
Into the pan. Cook! Cook! Cook!
All done, yum =D.
Thanks to Jen at use real butter for the challenge, and to Jill Elise for the wrapper recipe I used =D.

your dumplings are super - especially since they are gluten free. Me? I'm too scared to make anything gluten free....
What a creative idea for a filling, I'm getting hungry reading your post! I made mine without help too, and it took a whole day on-and-off. Definitely worth it :)
I love how you illustrated your post with pics. What a great help! I am so impressed with your skill...this is my first visit and will be back soon. :)
You gluten-free DCs are so awesome. I am always amazed and impressed at how well you all adapt the recipes. A great job on the dumplings and next time, you should definitely draft some folks to help you fold! :)
I also loved this challenge, but did find the folding a little long, too :) What fun filling ideas - my husband would have liked those!
wow, you were brave making enough for the whole family - i stuck to a half batch which barely fed two but took a lot less time to make!
Oh, wow..those are like Pierogi dumplings but better! Wait, piergi's are dumplings, but yours are better, They look so delicious!! Great job, as usual!!
Hi! I also enjoyed this challenge a lot :) The dumplings were very time consuming indeed, but so worth it! :) Cheers!
You've done a great job with this challenge. It was fun, wasn't it? I hope you have a wonderful day.
I think I would love these a great filling for those who aren't used to chinese flavour like most of the people I know. Great looking photos. Cheers
I was never a dumpling fan, but major kudos to you for making these! Looks like they turned out great. I love the caramelized onions, too. Yeah, recipes like this are definitely more fun with a buddy to chat with while you're doing the time-intensive parts. The time flies with a friend.
Happy Friday, Lauren!

Ooohh... those are almost like perogies... they sound very yummy! I can almost taste them... num.. num. I also pleated by myself... it definitely takes a while. :) Great job on this challenge!
Wow... these look great. They remind me of pierogi. I love the caramelized onions in there.
Love how you make it with cheese. Sounds delightful =)
Yum...I love a good potato and onion pierogi, and I imagine these were very similar to that taste. It's no wonder so many different cultures have filled dumplings -- they're all good!
Beautiful dumplings! Potato and cheese filling must be so delicious and fulfilling. I am going to make that next round.
Regards,

Yum, what a unique (and tasty-sounding) idea for a filling! Great job!
I agree that the folding and pleating takes a long time, but after a while it was like a zen exercise. I was quite relaxed by the end!
I agree it is definitely more fun to make these with someone. Your filling sounds delicious!
These dumplings look so impressive and delicious :). I haven't had dumplings since going gf, oh how I miss 'em!
