Homemade Sweet Potato Gnocchi
The first batch, made with three orange sweet potatoes, were terrible – dense, chewy. All because I followed the recipe from Yoshoku too closely. The recipe called for 300g flour to 1.2kg sweet potato and although I had only used about 220g of flour, the dough was already too dry.
Then, I only had one sweet potato left but I was determined to give it another go. I added one egg yolk, a tablespoon of grated parmesan and a few sprinkles of flour. Voila, lovely, light gnocchi! Pity about the terrible photo though =( My mum reckons that this is similar to Abacus Beads (a la the one Poh made in Masterchef) which is a food of the Hakka people.

Never ever thought of making gnocchi a desert. What was wrong with me all these years. I almost ate my screen when I saw the picture

I don’t think the picture is at all terrible! To me it looks really good. Really “foody”

When I run my cursor across your photo of the “Sweet Potato Gnocchi”, the photo is titled, “Sweet Pumpkin Ravioli”. Are there recipes & photos for both? Thank You!

Cathy, my mistake when I was initially putting a title on the photo. It is a sweet potato gnocchi.

How can one think that this picture it is terrible. It makes my mouth wet by just looking at it.
