Description
This delightful dish combines the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter, creating a comforting meal that is both satisfying and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
- Boil the sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
- Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, egg, and salt.
- Mix the dough just until combined to keep the gnocchi light and airy.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently.
- Divide the dough into sections and roll each section into a long rope.
- Cut the ropes into small pieces to form the gnocchi.
- Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until it turns golden brown.
- Remove the skillet from heat and add the cooked gnocchi, tossing to coat.
Notes
- Choose starchy sweet potatoes for a fluffier texture.
