Stokes Sweet Potato Gnocchi

I promised you another posting of the Stokes Purple Sweet Potato and here it is. What a delicious and unique looking appetizer this is. Do you notice how the purple color really pops when intertwined with a white potato gnocchi? I then browned a little butter with a pinch of nutmeg and drizzled it over the top. http://www.stokespurple.com/

Ingredients for Gnocchi:
2 cups hot mashed potatoes (without milk or seasoning) (you may use white or the Stokes Purple Sweet Potatoes)
1 cup sifted flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Pinch of nutmeg
4 tablespoons salted butter, browned in a saucepan

Directions:
1. Mix all gnocchi ingredients, then roll on a lightly floured board. Roll into a rope about 1/2-inch thick. This is where I intertwined the two different colored potatoes. Cut into 1-inch lengths and imprint lightly with the back of a fork.

2. Bring about 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Then adjust heat so that water simmers very gently. Drop gnocchi into the water, simmer, uncovered, until they float to the top of the water. Simmer 1 minute longer. Lift out with slotted spoon, drain in colander.

3. Gently toss with browned butter and serve hot.
