Sweet Potato Gnocchi
By KitchenAid
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds (675 g) sweet potatoes, unpeeled (about 4 medium sized)
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) potato starch
- ½ teaspoon (2 mL) ground nutmeg
- 1 (50 g) egg
- 1½ cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour, divided
- ¼ cup (50 mL) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) chopped fresh sage
- ½ teaspoon (2 mL) chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) white balsamic vinegar
Procedure
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and brush all surfaces with olive oil. Season fleshy sides with salt and place, flesh-side down, on prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes or until tender. Cool.
Remove flesh from potato skins using spoon and add to Bowl of KitchenAid® Artisan Mini Stand Mixer. Attach Bowl and Flat Paddle to mixer. Turn to Speed 1 and stir 30 seconds. Turn to Speed 4 and mix 1 minute. Scrape side and bottom of bowl. Add potato starch. Turn to Speed 6 and mix 1 minute or until smooth.
Spread potato mixture onto baking sheet to ½-inch thickness. Bake 5 minutes.
Cool potato mixture 5 minutes before returning to Bowl of KitchenAid® Artisan Mini Stand Mixer. Attach Bowl and Flat Paddle to mixer. Turn to Speed 1 and stir 30 seconds. Continuing on Speed 1, add nutmeg and egg; mix 30 seconds. Add flour in ¼-cup increments until smooth dough forms. (You may not need all the flour.)
Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Turn dough onto clean, floured work surface and divide into 6 equal pieces. Form each piece into long ropes about ¾-inch in diameter. Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces. Gently roll pieces along the back of a fork to shape gnocchi. Add gnocchi to boiling water. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi float; drain well.
Heat butter in large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until just starting to brown. Add cooked gnocchi and sauté until very lightly golden. Add Parmesan; toss gently. Sauté until cheese begins to brown. Transfer to serving platter. Sprinkle with herbs.
Add vinegar to pan, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil. Drizzle over gnocchi. Chef’s Tip: Gnocchi can be formed and frozen for later use. Freeze gnocchi in single layer on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Once frozen, gnocchi can be stored in plastic bags in the freezer. When ready to serve, boil and continue as directed in Step 6.
