Title: Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Post by: Sister on July 17, 2008, 05:37:49 PM
Sweet Potato Gnocchi

3 large sweet potatoes or yams
1 cup flour or probably more
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
salt and pepper.

Bake the sweet potatoes/yams in 450 F oven until soft (about an hour). Peel, mash, and add cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix in flour until dough holds its shape, but do not add too much that it becomes too stiff and hard to manage. Just add until it no longer sticks to your hands - like playdough!

Roll into long ropes and cut into pieces. Do the whole "rolling against a fork" thing if you must (you'll have to Google gnocchi-rolling directions) - I don't because I'm terribly inept at it, I just cut into ball-like blobs and it's fine, really.

Fill a pan with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil.
Drop gnocchi in.
Cook in salted boiling water until they float to the top.
Drain and serve with your favorite sauce or pan fry in oil.
