First, here is the list of the different ingredients you will need to prepare the Sweet Potato Gnocchi that serves 6 people
- 600 g or 2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes
- 1 egg yolk
- 150 g or 2/3 cup fluid flour + a little
- 100 g or 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 pinch of nutmeg and 2 pinches of four spices (optional)
- 30 g or 2 Tbsp butter
- 150 ml or 2/3 cup whipping cream
Now, here are the few steps you will need to follow to make these Sweet Potato Gnocchis with a 30 minutes preparation time and a 20 minutes cooking time + 15 minutes rest
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large wedges. Steam them for about 20 minutes. Immediately mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a large fork. Add the egg yolk, flour, cornstarch and spices. Salt and mix.
Form a ball of dough, let cool at room temperature. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a long sausage. On a floured work surface, cut into small pieces about 1 cm or 1/2 inch long. Roll them into small balls, sprinkle them with flour and score them with the tines of a fork.
Boil a large pot of salted water and plunge the gnocchis into it for a few seconds. They are cooked when they rise to the surface. Remove them immediately using a skimmer. Drain them and place them gradually in a large deep dish. Add the butter and cream, sprinkle with four spices, pepper and serve immediately.
Tip: If you have any dough left, freeze it.
