Steps

Prepare Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, then roast them for 45-60 minutes until they are very soft. Let them cool, peel, and mash them thoroughly with a potato ricer or fork.

Make Gnocchi Dough

In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato with the all-purpose flour, egg yolk, ground nutmeg, and salt. Gently knead until the mixture just comes together to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.

Form Gnocchi

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes, about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick. Cut the ropes into 2 cm (0.8 inch) pieces. Optionally, roll each piece over the back of a fork to create ridges.

Cook Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon.

Prepare Sage Butter Sauce

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for 3-5 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and the sage becomes crispy.

Serve

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sage butter sauce. Toss gently to coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Extra Tips

► Don't overmix the dough, or your gnocchi will turn out tough. Mix just until combined.

► If you don't have a gnocchi board, you can use the back of a fork to create ridges, which helps the sauce cling better.

► Serve the gnocchi immediately after cooking to enjoy it at its best texture and flavor.
