Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 tbsp sage
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black papper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap potatoes in tin foil, piercing them on both sides, and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until cooked completely through.

  2. Once the potatoes are cooled, remove the skins and transfer to a large bowl. Using a fork or mashing tool, mash the potatoes until smooth and no chunks remain. Add flour and mix well. Fold in Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, and nutmeg.

  3. Transfer gnocchi mixture onto a lightly floured surface and divide dough into 6 sections. Lightly flour the top of the dough to prevent sticking as you roll each section into “snake” like ropes. Cut each rope into 1cm pieces and shape them as desired.

  4. Fill a large pot with water and a couple pinches of salt. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, heat butter on medium heat in a medium sized pan. and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until butter is brown and has a toasty aroma mixing occasionally. Add sage, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. Once water is boiling, add gnocchi in and boil until cooked. You will know they are ready when they rise to the time and are floating at the surface.

  6. Strain and add gnocchi to the browned butter. Carefully mix them so that all the pieces are coated. Plate and garnish with more sage and parmesan. Enjoy!
