Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Ingredients

• Sweet potato

  Raw, unprepared

  500g

• Garlic

  Raw

  1 clove or 3g

• Salt

  Table

  ½ tsp or 3g

• Nutmeg

  Spices, ground

  ½ tsp or 1g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  1 large or 50g

• Wheat flour

  Whole-grain

  2 cup or 240g

Directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
