Today I’m going to share with you a recipe for vegan potato dumplings. You can also call them vegan purple potato gnocchi. There are two versions: sweet potatoes and purple potato dumplings. They are gluten-free and very tasty.
In my recipe I use chestnut flour which gives this vegan potato dumplings their unique taste. But of course if you’re not a fan of chestnut flour’s you are free to use any of your favorite kind of flour. To prepare vegan purple potato gnocchi you can also use only potato flour.
To make vegan purple potato gnocchi I use orange sweet potatoes or purple potatoes and there are two reasons for that. First of all they are extremely healthy and secondly they look so cool! If purple potatoes are new to you, keep your eyes open – probably they will appear in your local store real soon! Sweet potatoes contain a lot of vitamins and dietary minerals. All orange fruit and veggies are rich in beta-carotene which has not only a positive effect on our skin but also prevents ageing processes. Purple potatoes, just like blueberries and blackberries, are a good source of anthocyanins and others antioxydants. They have beneficial effect on our health.

Dumplings with chestnut flour taste great both boiled and fried. They will taste even better with your favorite vegetables. I often eat my vegan potato dumplings sprinkled with good olive oil and chilli flakes. And the next day I often fry them with a clove of garlic and some onion.
And I always remember to fry my food for a shorter period of time to limit the formation of harmful acrylamide.
Enjoy!
