Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Yesterday, I brought you ube gnocchi.

And it was good.

But, I worry that some people will be hesitant of gnocchi that is bright purple.  Even though you and I know it's yams, your guests... they may not.

So, I figured I'd throw my sweet potato gnocchi at you so you can make orange gnocchi...

That might freak out your table of guests too, I suppose, but at least they'll know what a sweet potato is when you describe it.  Give them this, then shock them with good ol' purple gnocchi.



Sweet Potato Gnocchi

1 lb. sweet potatoes, boiled and finely shredded
1 cup flour
1 egg


Combine ingredients together to form a dough.  Don't overwork the dough!  Form a long thin cylinder with the dough and cut the cylinder in 1" pieces.

Drop the pieces into boiling water.  When they float, strain them from the water and serve.
