Vegan Swedish Potato Dumplings (Kroppkakor) with Lingonberry Jam

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Plant-Based Butter
• 1 large Onion
• 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
• 1/2 cup Lingonberry Jam
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. 1Place the 2 lbs Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes thoroughly until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
2. 2While the potatoes are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons of the Plant-Based Butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (325°F / 163°C). Add the 1 large Onion, which has been finely chopped, to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
3. 3Stir the 1/2 teaspoon Allspice into the softened onions. Continue to cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion mixture cool slightly.
4. 4Add the 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs to the mashed potatoes and mix them together until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a tiny bit more breadcrumbs, but be careful not to make it too dry.
5. 5Take a portion of the potato dough, about the size of a golf ball, and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled onion mixture in the center of the flattened dough.
6. 6Carefully fold the edges of the potato dough up and around the onion filling, pinching to seal it completely. Gently roll the dough between your hands to form a smooth, round dumpling. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and onion filling.
7. 7Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with water, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C).
8. 8Gently lower the formed dumplings into the boiling water, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. You may need to cook them in batches. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are cooked through. They should feel firm to the touch.
9. 9Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the cooked dumplings from the water. Serve the Vegan Swedish Potato Dumplings hot, with the 1/2 cup Lingonberry Jam on the side for dipping.
