Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups pureed sweet potato
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp sage
  • fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl mix together the sweet potato, garlic, salt, nutmeg, and egg. Add in the flour a little at a time until a dough forms, making sure not to over knead.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface into large snakes and cut into 1-inch sections. Drop the pieces into the boiling water and let cook until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • While the gnocchi cooks, prepare a skillet with the butter and sage. Let melt and warm. Add in the gnocchi once cooked and toss to coat. Let brown a little before serving.

Notes

The art of gnocchi is to barely knead the dough, otherwise the dumplings will be rubbery.
Add Parmesan cheese if desired.
