SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI RECIPE BY TASTY
Gnocchi are something you probably order all the time at restaurants but never think about making from scratch. Well, now's the time to start. These lightened-up homemade gnocchi call for sweet potato in place of regular potato. The sweet potato is mashed with flour, egg, and Parmesan and boiled into little dumplings. Then, the gnocchi get tossed in a simple sauce of butter and sage until just golden.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
- Prick the sweet potato with a fork several times and bake for 40 minutes (or microwave for 5 minutes).
- Allow potato to cool at least 5 minutes before peeling skin off.
- In a large bowl, mash potato with masher or fork until smooth.
- Add parmesan cheese, egg, and flour. Knead the dough until it is firm and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed, forming a ball with the dough.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts. Take one part and roll it out into a long rope, about a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) wide.
- Slice into ½-inch (1 cm) rectangles and set aside.
- Using an overturned fork, slide each gnocchi over the fork prongs so they become serrated in a corkscrew shape.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the gnocchi. Boil until the gnocchi float to the top, about 1-2 minutes. Drain in a colander.
- In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and add sage. Simmer for 1 minute without letting butter burn.
- Add gnocchi to pan with the sage and butter, tossing until lightly golden.
- Top with more Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place sweet potatoes on plate; microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Cut in half and cool. Scrape sweet potato flesh into medium bowl and mash; transfer 3 cups to large bowl. Add ricotta cheese; blend well. Add Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg; mash to blend. Mix in flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until soft dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto floured surface; divide into 6 equal pieces. Rolling between palms and floured work surface, form each piece into 20-inch-long rope (about 1 inch in diameter), sprinkling with flour as needed if sticky. Cut each rope into 20 pieces. Roll each piece over tines of fork to indent. Transfer to baking sheet.
- Bring large pot of water to boil; add 2 tablespoons salt and return to boil. Working in batches, boil gnocchi until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to clean rimmed baking sheet. Cool completely. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until butter solids are brown and have toasty aroma, swirling pan occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add chopped sage (mixture will bubble up). Turn off heat. Season sage butter generously with salt and pepper.
- Transfer half of sage butter to large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add half of gnocchi. Sauté until gnocchi are heated through, about 6 minutes. Empty skillet onto rimmed baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining sage butter and gnocchi.
- Divide gnocchi and sauce among shallow bowls. Garnish with sage leaves.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until soft to the touch. Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to work with, remove the peels, and mash them, or press them through a ricer into a large bowl. Blend in the garlic, salt, nutmeg, and egg. Mix in the flour a little at a time until you have soft dough. Use more or less flour as needed.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. While you wait for the water, make the gnocchi. On a floured surface, roll the dough out in several long snakes, and cut into 1-inch sections. Drop the pieces into the boiling water, and allow them to cook until they float to the surface. Remove the floating pieces with a slotted spoon, and keep warm in a serving dish. Serve with butter or cream sauce.

Tips:
- To make the gnocchi, use Yukon Gold potatoes, as they have a high starch content that will help the gnocchi hold their shape.
- When boiling the potatoes, add a generous amount of salt to the water. This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and let them cool slightly before handling them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to your hands.
- When shaping the gnocchi, use a lightly floured surface to prevent them from sticking. You can also use a gnocchi board or a fork to create the characteristic ridges.
- When cooking the gnocchi, be sure to use a large pot of boiling water. This will help to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together.
- To make the maple-cinnamon butter, use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the sauce.
- Be sure to add the maple syrup and cinnamon to the butter sauce towards the end of cooking, as this will help to prevent the maple syrup from burning.
Conclusion:
This sweet potato gnocchi with maple-cinnamon butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that is both comforting and satisfying. Serve the gnocchi with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad for a complete and balanced meal.
