Ingredients
-
300g sweet potato
-
250g sweet potato flour
-
1 egg yolk
-
pinch of salt
-
black pepper
-
1/2 tsp turmeric
Directions
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then cook in salted water for around 30 minutes, until it becomes soft and tender. Drain the water and let it stand. In a bowl, mash once it has cooled down, then add the sweet potato flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and turmeric. Knead thoroughly by hand until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.
- Cut small amounts of dough to form ropes and cut into 2 cm pieces, then slide each piece on the back of a fork to add the characteristic ridges.
- Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of salted boiling water. Once they float to the top, you will know that they are ready.
