The Instruction of sweet potato sage gnocchi

• mash potato until just smooth then press one quarter of potato through a sieve into a bowl repeat in 3 more batches add salt and season with pepper
• combine flour with sage add the flour mixture to the mashed potato mix to form a firm slightly sticky dough if its too sticky add a little more flour but only a tablespoon at a time too much makes the dough heavy
• dust a tray lined with a clean dry tea towel with flour cut dough into 4 even portions roll each portion on a lightly floured surface to a 2cm thick log
• use a lightly floured knife to cut logs into 2cm pieces roll each piece into a ball place on the lined tray making sure the gnocchi dont touch each other
• gently roll 1 at a time over the back of a lightly floured fork the ridges help sauce cling to the gnocchi and give them a traditional italian finish

• use a slotted spoon to transfer to a baking tray making sure theres a little cooking water still on the tray this stops them sticking together
