Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 4 tbsp butter
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bake the sweet potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes.
- Once cooled, peel and mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl.
- Add flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a rope on a floured surface. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until crisp.
- Toss the cooked gnocchi in the sage butter sauce. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Do not overwork the dough to keep the gnocchi light.
- Fresh sage leaves add the best flavor, but dried sage can be used as a substitute.
