Gorgeous recipe Trigger- I do something similar with pumpkin, but this looks fantastic! I like to fry a sage leaf or two for garnish... and it's delicious.


Very, very nice!!! I would have never thought of using sweet potatoes for the gnocchi! You get all the flags and a big thanks from me for posting this!


OMG! This recipe has to be wonderful and cozy. I love pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter and this has similar elements. Are you hosting a dinner for we lazy-asses anytime soon, perchance?

Ok so now I am going to have to try this!!! I am not a big fan of sweet potato, but I've been learning to like it when it's not candied. I will try and let you know how this comes out! 5 Forks! YUMMY!


This sounds wonderful! My Italian friend taught me how to make potato gnocci about 25 years ago, and it's always been a favorite, but now I think I've got to try your sweet potato version! Thanks!
