I was out at a local restaurant that served sweet potato gnocchi, so I figured I would try them. Wow! I had never had gnocchi before, but the idea intrigued me. I then bought some pre-made regular ones at Costco. I'm glad I didn't start with those! After the restaurant, I came to this faithful site and found the perfect recipe. At the restaurant, they had just melted butter and added finely sliced sage. The combination is heaven...and I'm not a big fan of sage...at all! I grow it in my garden, because it is well behaved and pretty. Now, after having it out there for 15 years, I actually will use it. Just typing this is making me want to make up a batch. Oh, it freezes beautifully. I had enough for four separate meals. It makes enough to make it worth making!

These were pretty ok. Easy to make. Served them with a bleu cheese sauce. Needed something though. Can't put my finger on it.

They are 'okay' I found them very bland. I don't see myself making these again.

Word of caution with this one, don't use pumpkin as a substitute for the sweet potato. Unless it's from a can I suppose, but I tried this one with the original recipe and they were awesome. Then I had a small pie pumpkin that was getting old so I baked it up and tried to use it..... not the same.

Wow! These are great! Slather them with butter and they will melt in your mouth. I microwave my potatoes. One extra large sweet potato take about 10 to 14 minutes. his conserves energy and does not heat up your house. They come out just as delicious. I like the idea of using a zip lock to squish out the dough to cut it easier. Be sure to keep the dough soft for soft gnocchi. I can't think of any way to alter this recipe. It is great as is.

Like some other contributors, I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and some brown sugar to the sweet potato. I also baked the potatoes for much longer, close to 50 minutes. I was nervous that the garlic wouldn't cook fast enough and would taste raw but I chopped it very small and it added a nice bit of flavor. I still wish they were a bit more flavorful and will try to find something else to add to the dough itself. I served with some pre-made alfredo sauce from Trader Joe's and cracked fresh pepper on top. A salad of baby spinach/mandarin orange made a nice accompaniment.
