Michigan Sweet Potato and Sausage Gnocchi Rustic Michigan Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Savory Sausage Delight Ingredients: 2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 cups mashed) 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 8 oz Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casing removed 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Salt and pepper, to taste Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for about 45 minutes, until soft. Let cool, then peel and mash. In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, egg, salt, pepper, and flour. Mix until a dough forms, adding flour gradually until it’s soft but not sticky. On a floured surface, divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about ½ inch thick. Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces and shape each piece into gnocchi by pressing lightly with a fork. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in batches; when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes), remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage, breaking it apart, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, onion, and sage to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add butter to the skillet and melt. Toss in cooked gnocchi and gently stir to combine, allowing the gnocchi to crisp slightly. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
