Sweet Potato Gnocchi Recipe - How To Make Sweet Potato Gnocchi - Delish.com

June Xie

To make sweet potato gnocchi, you first need cooked sweet potatoes. You can do it one of two ways: either baked for 1 hour or microwaved for 5 to 10 minutes until knife-tender and creamy. Let it cool off for 10 to 20 minutes, then peel and mash.

The maple syrup and ricotta in this gnocchi dough are both technically optional, but why would you skip out on flavor when you can carpe diem? Due to varying sweet potato sizes and moisture levels, it's important to gauge the texture of your dough and add flour accordingly: you want your final dough to be soft and super pliable, but not sticky to the touch. A resting period in the fridge is highly recommended, as is using enough bench flour during the rolling and shaping process.

You can serve your gnocchi boiled or seared, either in a caramelized sauce of bacon fat, butter, maple syrup, and bourbon or in a simple cacio e pepe finish like in this potato gnocchi recipe. I also served my bowl with some fried parsley, but beware, it is a dangerous affair: even when dabbed dry, the parsley leaves caused intensively explosive splattering. To keep things on the safe side, I'd recommend just some chopped fresh herbs of your choice, unless you really want to give yourself something to cry about.

This recipe yields about 60 gnocchi pieces. If you can't eat it all in one go, freeze them in a single layer on a flour sheet tray. Once hardened, transfer to a resealable container and store in the freezer until you're ready for your next meal.

Total Time: 2 hours 15 mins

For the gnocchi

1 lb.

sweet potatoes (2 medium)

1/4 c.

ricotta

2 tbsp.

maple syrup

1/2 tsp.

kosher salt

1/2 tsp.

sweet paprika

1/4 tsp.

freshly ground black pepper

Pinch freshly grated nutmeg

1

large egg

1/2 c.

whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp.

all-purpose flour, plus more as needed

For the maple bacon sauce

2

slices thick-cut bacon, diced

2 tbsp.

butter

1/4 c.

maple syrup

2 tbsp.

bourbon

1/2 tsp.

smoked paprika, plus more for serving

Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Chopped fresh herbs

1. Wash and dry sweet potatoes, then pierce all over with a fork. Cook until tender and creamy by oven or microwave. Let cool slightly.
2. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out insides. Discard skins. Run potatoes through a ricer or mash well with a fork.
3. In a large bowl, combine riced potatoes, ricotta, maple, salt, paprika, pepper, nutmeg, and egg until smooth. Fold in whole wheat flour and gradually add all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms, ¼ cup at a time. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, up to overnight.
4. Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a long rope, about ½” in diameter. Cut ropes into 1” pieces and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. If desired, roll gnocchi along the tines of a fork to create ridges.
5. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi in batches until it floats to the top, 2 to 3 minutes. 
6. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon pieces to a plate and keep 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet. 
7. Add butter and cooked gnocchi to skillet and fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to a plate.
8. Add maple, bourbon, and smoked paprika to skillet and cook until saucy, about 2 minutes. Toss cooked gnocchi in the sauce to coat evenly.
9. Garnish with Parmesan, more paprika, and herbs if desired before serving.
