Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Recipe by Californiacook.

Recipe has good flavor. It is very messy scooping out the portions and rolling the dough, if you can call it that, out. Keep your hands well floured. Sweet potato dough gets stuck all over your hands and wants to stick to the rolling surface. Might be able to add more flour to the dough to make it more workable. I followed the destructions exactly.

Don't have to add too much salt when served with melted butter.

Made a pic to be posted later.

The following is what I posted on Californiacook's recipe. I think Californiacook has got a burr under her saddle. I gave a good critique and Californiacook went off about it.

I gave you a 4-fork rating! Do you consider that being LOW BALLED?

Here is the pic. Hope you like it.

I used sweet potatoes and NOT yams. I don't have a problem with the recipe. Was just pointing out for other users that their hands were going to get sticky dough on them while forming the ropes. I had all the recipes on hand to make this recipe, so I did. I gave this recipe a good review. Think you are reading it wrong.

Only group I attached this recipe to is the "IMI" group. Please reconsider your curt remarks.

Wooow. She is really upset. You are not even a member of the yam group. How would you have put it there?

I didn't see anything wrong with your review btw. I think the remaining pic is nice.

Just did some research on sweet potato gnocchi. In GR data base, there are 4 like recipes on the first search page. Two of them have at least double the flour in the dough. One has a quarter cup more in the dough. I can see where more flour would make the dough more workable and less sticky. But I didn't want to vary from the recipe on my first attempt.

Should have done the research before trying this recipe.
