Potato dumplings are a fantastic way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. You can also make these with sweet potatoes or add different cheeses to the mix. The dumplings have great texture—soft on the inside like little pillows and crispy on the outside. The sage butter is something I learned when living in Italy and is so delicious with these cheese dumplings or with egg tagliolini.

In fact, this is a fantastic way to use up bananas that have blackened. Though the cake is still lovely without frosting, this one is light and fluffy with a delicious hint of coconut.
