Sweet potato and sage gnocchi is a delightful twist on traditional Italian gnocchi. Combining the earthy, sweet flavors of sweet potatoes with the fragrant aroma of sage, this recipe creates a wonderful dish that's both comforting and flavorful. It's perfect for a cozy dinner and pairs well with a light butter sauce or your favorite marinara.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
- Cut them into roughly equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. They should be easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and sweet potatoes thoroughly and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes and sweet potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the salt and finely chopped sage to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Sprinkle a clean surface with a little flour (you can use regular flour or gluten-free flour if you prefer).
- Take a portion of the potato mixture and roll it into a long rope about 3/4-inch in diameter.
- Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
- You can leave the gnocchi as is or use a fork to press gently on each piece to create ridges, which helps the gnocchi hold onto sauces better.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the gnocchi in batches. The gnocchi are ready when they float to the top, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked gnocchi and place them on a plate.
- Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce. A sage butter sauce or a simple tomato sauce pairs wonderfully with this gnocchi.
Tips:
- Ensure both regular potatoes and sweet potatoes are cooked until very soft to make mashing easier and the dough smoother.
- Use a ricer or a fine masher to achieve a lump-free potato mixture.
- Incorporate flour gradually when forming the dough; you want it to be soft but not too sticky.
- Dust your work surface and hands with flour to prevent sticking while rolling and cutting the gnocchi.
- Test-cook a small batch of gnocchi to check the texture before cooking the entire batch. Adjust with more flour if necessary.
- Use fresh sage if possible for the most vibrant flavor and aroma.
- Consider serving with a simple brown butter and sage sauce for a classic pairing.
Enjoy the warm, satisfying sweetness of sweet potato gnocchi paired with the earthy aroma of sage. Perfect for an intimate dinner or a special gathering, this dish is sure to impress with its unique flavors and comforting texture. Don’t forget to garnish with a bit of extra sage and freshly grated Parmesan for an added touch of elegance.
