Sweet Potato and Feta Gnocchi
By: Marlitt
Mar 5, 2008
These are very tasty in your favorite sauce or seared in herb butter. I got the idea for these because I had doubled the recipe for Chef Kate's "Roasted Sweet Potato and Feta Ravioli"# 210595.I used up all the wrappers and had filling left over. Well waste not want not. I made up this recipe from the left over filling and everyone loved it.
SERVES 4 -6 , 30 -36 gnocchi
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled, cut into 8 pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbles
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups unbleached flour, divided (1/2 cup for rolling gnocchi)
Directions
1
In a microwave safe dish put sweet potato and add a little water. Cook on high until potato is soft about 10 minutes ( depends on size of potato and your microwave).2
Finely dice onion and sauté over medium heat until it just starts to brown.3
In a large pot bring 2 quarts of water to boil .4
When potato is ready let cool slightly, (until cool enough to handle ) spoon the flesh into a bowl.5
Add salt and pepper and mash.6
Fold in feta, onion and egg and mix well.7
Add 1 12 cups flour to the mixture until incorporated. This makes a very soft dough.8
Pour about a ½ cup of flour on a plate or a clean dry surface. I used a teaspoon to take the dough out of the bowl and then dredge the dough in the flour.9
Shake off the excess flour and place on a clean tea towel.10
Repeat until the dough is finished.11
Add about 12 pieces at a time to the boiling water.12
When gnocchi floats to the top cook another 3 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon to a colander.13
Repeat until all the gnocchi are cooked.14
You can now brown these in an herb butter or just top with your favourite sauce.15
Enjoy.

This was a great dish! My mother, who normally hates gnocchi, loves this dish! I used left over mashed sweet potatoes and scaled this down to serve about two. The directions were spot on and very easy to follow so even the greenest gnocchi maker could easily make this recipe. I added some spices to the mixture, but other than that made as stated.

Well, I'm another one who's never made this kind of dish! You should know, too, that everytime I see 'sweet potato' I think YAM, so used one of those! Followed the recipe right down the line & had a wonderful taste experience! These little buggers are great, & definitely worth making repeatedly! Served them this time in a tomato sauce! What a great side dish! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe cooking game]

Yum! I'd never made gnocchi before but these turned out great. I served them with a spicy tomato sauce and steamed vegetables. These were delicious! However I now have half the batch left so I need to think up another sauce!

I have never in my life made or ate gnocchi before and I was a little apprehensive about trying it... but, I must say this is the best! I made it by hand, although next time I would put it in the stand mixer to combine. Instructions were very well written and the taste was wonderful, of course, I do love sweet potatoes, onions and feta!! I could not distinguish the feta, so next time I might just leave it out to cut calories. Also, I did use 1/2 cup of wheat flour to contribute a little more fiber to this dish. I served with a side of steamed broccoli and topped it off with marinara sauce.... actually DS just dipped his gnocchi's right into the sauce which he thought was very cool - also his first time trying gnocchi! Thanks for sharing this super recipe! Made for Please Review My Recipe game.
