Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 5 mins


• 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.
