Purple Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter step by step

1. Preheat oven to 350 and roast sweet potatoes until tender. About 30-40 min..

3. Pour the flour onto a clean dry countertop and shape it into a ring..
4. Crack eggs into the center of the ring and beat with a fork. Do not mix any of the flour into the egg mixture as this time. Add the dried sage, nutmeg, and salt to the eggs..
5. Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the egg mixture and combine..
6. Using your hands, slowly start to mix the flour into the potato mixture. Gently Knead the dough until well combined and no longer sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour..
7. Dust flour on the countertop, roll dough into large ball, and cut ball into four pieces..
8. Roll each quarter into long strands approximately 1 inch in diameter..
9. Cut gnocchi into 1 inch cubes and separate on baking sheet. Do not allow gnocchi to touch as they will likely stick together..
