Ahhh gnocchi. I have always had a love-hate relationship with these little balls of goodness-badness. Goodnes, because they are lovely with a taste sauce. Badness, because traditional gnocchi often results in feeling like I have lead balls in my stomach and I feel blergh.
I’m subscribed to Cupcake Kitteh‘s blog and I squealed with excitement when I saw Mandee post this recipe for gluten free sweet potato gnocchi. I love sweet potato, I had lots of sweet potato so that was what I chose to make for dinner a couple of days ago.
I first made a few small proper gnocchi sized balls with the fork marks as a test because I was worried the mixture was too soft. I needn’t have worried as they turned out fine, especially pan fried in a little oil.
Then the laziness crept in and took over… look, jumbo gnocchi:
These were great! I held my breath when the kids tried some. Arthur’s rating was “38% goodness” so at least I can use this recipe as a base. Husband was out for dinner and didn’t have any. DeeW was not a fan but I didn’t expect her to be as she doesn’t like this kind of texture.
This is such a simple recipe and one I will make again with a really nice pesto 🙂

Sounds yum! I have never tried making gnocchi. My mother-in-law makes amazing gnocchi. My son used to swallow them practically whole as a little one, and then get a stomach ache. They can indeed be heavy.
Love gnocchi but am too lazy to make it much – but I should esp as I have discovered how good it is panfried – and 38% goodness is not bad from kids – though I wanted to know which bit was good and which bit was bad 🙂
the pan fried is great 🙂
