Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook your medium-sized sweet potatoes in the microwave for about 8-10 minutes or bake at 425°F for 45-60 minutes. Cool and peel.
  2. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes into a light, fluffy texture using a ricer or masher. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, blend sweet potato puree with a beaten egg until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Parmesan cheese and flour, then gradually incorporate it into the sweet potato mixture.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
  6. Dust countertop with flour, roll dough into long ropes, cut small pieces, and create texture with a fork or gnocchi board.

  8. In a skillet, melt butter and fry the boiled gnocchi for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
