Ingredients
Instructions
Bake sweet potatoes at 400°F (205°C) for 45–50 minutes until very tender, or microwave until soft. Let cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth.
On a floured surface, spread mashed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add egg and gently mix. Gradually add flour, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork.
Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each into a rope about ¾-inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Roll over a fork if desired for ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add gnocchi in batches. When they float to the surface, cook for 1–2 more minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Toss immediately with sauce or sauté briefly in butter for a lightly crisp exterior.Notes
