Potato gnocchi are usually made with russet potatoes, but for a slightly sweeter, more colorful change of pace, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes work beautifully, especially when served with an easy to make bacon butter. Strange: No. They are yams. . My dad used to tease me all the time because he said they were sweet potatoes I said no they are yams. I learned years after he passed they are all sweet potato s. I m almost 83 and I still smile when I think about how much fun my dad had teasing me over this. You were right dad.

Chef! My favorite pasta! Story time - years ago when I was in college I became friends with a classmate, he and his mother was an Italian who had immigrated to the U. S. He invited me over where she taught me how to make gnocchi from scratch. What amazed me was how she brought this little serrated board out and flicked these little pasta pillows across it, giving it the final shape. She then cooked it up in what I remember to be a toasted sage brown butter sauce. This brought back great memories. I can't wait to make this.

I find it interesting that everyone says your pasta water should be as salty as the sea. Where are they getting this information? I actually tested it out, I googled how much salt there is in seawater (about 3. 5%) and added the same amount of salt to my pasta water. The pasta turned out unbearably salty. I since started adding about 2%. So, boys and girls, when you make a claim, make sure you're not just repeating what somebody else had said and actually know what you're talking about.

Def gonna try to make these soon, and by soon I mean tomorrow. Because tonite I m making your prison style meatloaf. Thanks again, chef, you make me look like a good cook to my fam. And I do credit you and don t take all the cred for myself I just say I use your process but tweak a thing or two depending on what I have around. Stay safe y all

A microwave does not roast it boils a misconception people still make. Do not over work the dough gnocchi means little pillows and that's what they should be the opposite of pasta. And try and make a rib using a fork/gnocchi board they hold the sauce better Johns lazy or doesn't know: -)

This is basically a sweet potato version of halushki (Hungarian dish, that i love with all my heart, which is extraordinarily intriguing (im Hungarian Gypsy. We do regular gnocchi, cottage cheese, cream cheese, bacon, browned butter (only one version of several.

Thank you Chef John I can never remember how to pronounce gnocchi, I work with two native Italian women, both very, very good cooks and bakers, and when I would try and pronounce gnocchi they would smirk at me. Smirk No More Ladies!

In my town we do it the other way around. If she floats she's a witch and we hang her. If she drowns she's not, well mistakes do happen. Haven't had anyone floating yet, but you can never be careful enough so we keep testing.

Maybe letting the dough rest initially, before rolling it out into snakes, would be a good thing to try. I'm going to try this with butternut squash as I don't have sweet potatoes/yams on hand. Thanks for this recipe, Chef John!

Really John? I'm putting on weight just eating my life away from this Pandemic and now you put this delicous recipe out for us to try? BTW, can you use a Kabocha Squash in place of the Sweet Potato?
