Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe dish put sweet potato and add a little water. Cook on high until potato is soft about 10 minutes ( depends on size of potato and your microwave).
  2. Finely dice onion and sauté over medium heat until it just starts to brown.
  3. In a large pot bring 2 quarts of water to boil .
  4. When potato is ready let cool slightly, (until cool enough to handle ) spoon the flesh into a bowl.
  5. Add salt and pepper and mash.
  6. Fold in feta, onion and egg and mix well.
  7. Add 1 12 cups flour to the mixture until incorporated. This makes a very soft dough.
  8. Pour about a ½ cup of flour on a plate or a clean dry surface. I used a teaspoon to take the dough out of the bowl and then dredge the dough in the flour.
  9. Shake off the excess flour and place on a clean tea towel.
  10. Repeat until the dough is finished.
  11. Add about 12 pieces at a time to the boiling water.
  12. When gnocchi floats to the top cook another 3 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon to a colander.
  13. Repeat until all the gnocchi are cooked.
  14. You can now brown these in an herb butter or just top with your favourite sauce.
  15. Enjoy.
