Let’s eat! But first, let’s chatabout how this chicken and mashed potato dumplings recipe came to be.

It’s during the holidays that people bring out their favorite family recipes, and it’s so fun to see the different twists and versions everyone has on classic, holiday comfort meals. Like most people I have oodles of favorites, but one ofthose favoriterecipe traditions comes from a good and bad childhood memory.

When I was little, I hated when my parents went on vacation without us because they would go for two and sometimes three weeks at a time, and we had to have a babysitter named Virginia stayat our house. She was nice,but she liked to tease us, and I despised being teased. Virginia had one redeeming quality though;she made some killer chicken and dumplings. Killer.

So at this point you’d expect me to share her recipe with you. Womp womp.

But, I do make a version of chicken and dumplings that tastes like home, childhood, and warm happiness, and that I can share.

So from my family to yours, I present thisnew recipe tradition — chicken and mashed potato dumplings. And afterThanksgiving when we have lots of leftover turkey, it’s turkey and mashed potato dumplings. Either way, it’s feel-good food.

At this point, you’re probably like… mashed potato dumplings? The heck?

So lemme ‘splain. Mashed potatoes are more comfort food for me than dumplings could ever be. Plus, they’re buttery, flavorful and so much lighter.
