Sweet potato gnocchi

I #choosetocook because it lets me explore new foods, traditions and ways of eating. I love seeing how other cultures consume food, the rituals around certain meals and how food can provide individuals with a sense of community, home, family and even purpose.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 people

Cooking time :

30 minutes

500 g

sweet potato

200 g

plain flour

Pinch

salt

Pinch

nutmeg

2 tbsp

butter

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Peel, dice and boil the potato in lightly salted water until soft enough to mash.

* Step 2

Mash your potato and add your flour, salt and nutmeg. Add flour half at a time to make s tiff dough.

* Step 3

Once all combined, take manageable amounts onto a floured surface. with floured hands roll the mixture into long sausage shapes about 1 inch thick.

* Step 4

Once all the mixture is rolled out, cut into 2-3 cm pieces. using a fork create an indent on the gnocchi (this helps any sauce to cling to them). NB - I'm not sure if this is a traditional way of making this shape for gnocchi but it worked well for me

* Step 5

Whilst you hare creating all your gnocchi, place a pot of water on the boil

* Step 6

When the water is at a rolling boil, add you gnocchi. Don't overcrowd the pot. When they float to the top they are done.

* Step 7

Whilst they are cooking in a separate pan, start to melt 1 tbsp of butter on medium/low heat. As the gnocchi rise to the top, remove them from the water and gently add to the butter to lightly fry. I was able to cook 2 batches of gnocchi before having to add the second tbsp of butter to cook the remaining 2 batches.

* Step 8

Frying gnocchi in butter acts as a sauce and only takes a few minutes on each side. repeat until all it cooked I was inspired by this recipe - https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/14930010-potato-and-parsnip-gnocchi-with-green-pesto-and-crispy-sage by @cookingwithyui But sadly I didn't have any sage at home so will have to try her version soon.
