It seemed easy-mix flour, cooked sweet potato, and salt. Roll it into a log.
Cut into nuggets and crease with a fork so the gnocci could hold optimum sauce.
Boil the gnocci until they float....Obviously I did something wrong, because they came out mushy and sad.
It was disappointing, because HOW AWESOME DOES SWEET POTATO GNOCCI SOUND??!
The end of the year overwhelms me with work craziness and hustle bustle and I was feeling frazzled, so I needed a fast plan B. I packed up some sliced red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic, and on Christmas day I sauteed them up with sliced Tofurky Italian Sausage. I mashed up half a sweet potato with a little Earth Balance and cumin, dished up some romaine/fennel/orange salad with balsamic and called it a holiday meal. I didn't get a picture. Whoops.
I now feel like I must conquer sweet potato gnocchi. The gauntlet has been thrown.
You have to conquer the gnocchi.....then tell us all how you did it! I tried making gnocchi from scratch a couple of years ago and it did NOT turn out well. I really need to know what the secret is.
