Preparation Steps
- Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce them in several places with a fork. Microwave on full power for 8 to 9 minutes until tender or bake in a preheated 425°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to touch, carefully slice them lengthwise and scoop out the flesh using a spoon.
- Using a potato ricer or a fork, press or mash the sweet potato flesh until it is light and fluffy, free of lumps.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the cooled sweet potato flesh with one large egg, ensuring it is well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly grated Parmesan and the all-purpose flour. Gently mix this flour mixture into the sweet potato and egg blend until a soft dough forms.
- Once your dough is formed, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into three equal pieces, then roll each piece into smaller sections about ½" wide and 1" long.
- Roll each gnocchi piece in a bit of flour and use a gnocchi board or fork to create grooves on each piece.
- Gently drop the shaped gnocchi into boiling water and stir lightly to prevent them from sticking. Once floating, cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked gnocchi to hot butter in your skillet and fry until golden brown.
