I try out a lot of new recipes. I’m a good cook, most of my experiments turn out just fine, and, by and large, they’re pretty much what I expected.
But not always. Last night I tried my hand at making sweet potato gnocchi. Suffice it to say that my gnocchi could use a bit of work. They weren’t heinous and tasted fine but they didn’t firm up the way they should have.
I may try it again. I still have one more sweet potato which should be enough for an experimental batch.
I tried making gnocchi once (white potato) and had the opposite problem- too firm and chewy.
Sweet potato sounds like a delicious variation- hope it works out on your second try!
