This super simple, budget friendly recipe is the perfect addition to your uni meal rotation!
Ingredients:
(makes 2 servings)
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- 100g of Flour (to start)
- Butter
Optional Toppings:
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Sage
- Garlic
- Chorizo or Sausage
- Salt and Pepper
- Oregano
Method:
- Microwave the sweet potatoes whole until they are tender and soft inside (recommend checking after 3 minute intervals – make sure your microwave doesn’t steam up).
- Then, slice open the potatoes, scoop out the inside and place it into a bowl.
- Next, mash the sweet potato until there are no lumps.
- Add the flour and mix until the dough is no longer sticky. (I recommend starting with 100g of flour – but it depends on how large the potatoes are).
- Then roll the dough out into a line.
- Chop the dough into bite sized pieces – optionally roll and shape them.
- Place the gnocchi into boiling water for approximately 2 minutes – until they float.
- Afterwards, drain the water.
- Place the gnocchi into a hot pan with butter – season and cook until they are slightly golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with sun dried tomatoes and sage.
- Optionally add sausage or chorizo for variety.
