Potato Dumpling Casserole

"Yummy potato dumplings baked in a rich cheese sauce. A family favorite, and a great use for leftover mashed potatoes. You can also double the sauce recipe and use it as the base for a terrific macaroni and cheese casserole. If Jarlsberg cheese is not available at your store, you can use Swiss cheese."
