  • 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.

I mean they were mismatched sizing and some stuck together, but overall I’d give myself a solid B. I didn’t have bacon so I added sautéed mushrooms and spinach, topped with pesto. Served with roasted chicken. So good! Thank you for the dinner idea Chef John!

    I made a vegan version of these about a week ago - just sweet potato and semolina. I caramelised some leek and infused it with fresh thyme. Then braised the stems and leaves from a bunch of beetroot on the side. Sprinkled chopped walnuts on top. The combination of orange, purple and green was so gorgeous and the sweet flavour of the gnocchi paired perfectly with the earthy and savoury veggies. But honestly I think those gnocchi go with almost anything!

    Just made a double batch of this recipe, and it was soooo good. Didn't do the bacon butter, but I did a wine sauce with caramelized onions and frozen peas to counter the pasta chewiness. I was honestly expecting a consistency like those korean rice sticks, which I don't particularly like... these are not that... super soft and pillowy. I cut mine about the size of mini marshmallows. Love them and will definitely do this again (not to mention I have a bunch uncooked/frozen for later). Thanks for the inspiration!
