Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Servings 2
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 220 g baked sweet potato (I weight the sweet potato with no skin on, from cold)
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • I have used a cold sweet potato with skin off and mashed it with a fork until completely smooth.
  • In a large bowl add flour and salt. Mix. Add the sweet potato and mix until the sweet potato and flour are well incorporated.
  • On a clean surface roll a piece of the dough and roll it out to create sausage shape. Cut with a knife into gnocchi shape.
  • This next step is optional but if you like the classic gnocchi shape you can use a fork and roll the gnocchi over (see video). This will take a bit of time but I always think is worth it. If you can’t be bothered don’t worry, they’ll taste as good without this extra bit 
  • Cook the gnocchi in boiling water, you’ll know when they are ready when they all float at the top. Add your favourite sauce.

Notes

To best enhance the flavour I went for a simple butter and sage gnocchi but I would also really recommend blue cheese and leek.
