Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by cooking the sweet potatoes; microwave for 8-9 minutes or roast at 425°F for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  2. Slice the warm sweet potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the sweet potato flesh until light and fluffy; cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the fluffy mashed sweet potatoes with an egg, then mix in flour and Parmesan gently.
  5. Divide the dough into portions, roll into ropes, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Boil salted water, add the gnocchi in batches; they’re done when they float (1-2 minutes).
  7. In a skillet, melt butter and fry the gnocchi for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  8. Serve immediately with toppings or sauces of choice.
