Delicious potato dumplings cooked in a cheese sauce. a beloved family favorite and a fantastic way to use up extra mashed potatoes. The sauce recipe can be doubled and used as the foundation for a fantastic macaroni and cheese casserole. You can substitute Swiss cheese if your local grocery shop does not carry Jarlsberg cheese.

Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, 1 cup flour, eggs, salt and pepper until well blended. Spoon into a clean plastic bag.
- Bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Adjust heat so that water boils very gently. Cut a small opening in the corner of the baggie, and squeeze out dumplings into the water, cutting with scissors at 1 inch intervals. Let the dumplings simmer uncovered until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place in a 2 quart baking dish. Keep warm.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion in butter until tender. Blend in 2 tablespoons flour until smooth. Pour in cream and broth, and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the Jarlsberg until smooth. Pour over the dumplings in the dish. Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is golden brown and sauce is bubbly.

I made a half recipe but used fresh prepared gnocchi from the grocery instead of making them with mashed potatoes . I also substituted Jarlsberg with Emmenthaler. So easy for fabulous results. Next potluck I am going to bring this. A pleaser!
excellent. I needed a main dish with pretty much just potatoes as the main ingredient. this was really good. I used cheddar instead of Jarlsberg because that’s what I had and it was delicious.
This was more time consuming than I anticipated, but I did not have leftover mashed potatoes to use which would have helped considerably with the time. It is delicious though and looks good too. Think potato dumpling married with scallop potato flavors and sauce.
I was looking to make potatoes a different way, and came across this recipe. I really enjoyed it, my Dad loved it he had seconds. I will make again, Thank you
My review is only for the dumplings and not the cheesy casserole. I had leftover mashed potatoes to use up and needed a recipe for dumplings. The recipe was pretty easy to follow and the baggie definitely helped with the forming process. I kept the cooked dumplings in the fridge and just took out a single serving when I wanted to use them. I pan-fried them in a little oil until they were crispy on the outside and then served with kielbasa and sauerkraut. Very tasty! I would definitely do this again if I had leftover mashed potatoes on hand. Might try the cheesy casserole next time too.
This was ok. A lot of work and didn’t have a very distinctive taste. I won’t be spending my time making this again.
my husband and i LOVED this. much easier if you have leftover mashed potatoes, but i used freshly made, and it worked out just fine. divine! 🙂 thanks!
Perfect potato dumplings. I made only those and then used a pesto sauce to create my Italian favorite. YUMMY!
This recipe just didn’t come out very well. Not sure if it was me or the recipe. The sauce was grainy and tasted unpleasant and the dumplings were gloppy. Maybe one day in the distant future if I’m feeling brave I will try this again.
i added some beans to it, but other than that it was to the t. fantastic meal, even better left overs the next day.
This was great!!! We all had second and some even had thirds. This is definately a keeper. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
I made this for a post-Thanksgiving leftover party and people ate it in about five seconds. A huge, decadent hit. I made it with leftover garlic mashed potatoes.
Excellent and easy. Could use as a base for adding meats or other.
