I must have sweet potatoes on the brain, because is the second post I'm writing this week that involves them. This time I haven't actually done the cooking, I'm simply salivating over the Sweet Potato Gnocchi that Brys made over at Cookthink this weekend.
I've never made gnocchi on my own. I've thought about it more than once, but always talked myself out of the idea because I'd heard from so many folks that it's really hard to get it right. This is why I'm doubly intrigued by this post, because Brys didn't even use a recipe, he just headed out and did it by feel (documenting each step as he went with some really lovely pictures). There are lots of things that I can cook by feel, but homemade pasta is not one of them. However, he makes it look so easy that I think I'm going to have to give it a go sometime soon.

I've made gnocchi before - a friend of mine mentioned a recipe offhand to me once. It's a little less specific than the one Brys has, but just as easy. I will say, though, that using a mixer to make the dough first is probably a good idea; the couple of times that I've made gnocchi, I've done it by hand, and it always takes at least an hour to mix together and not stick together. It's definitely worth it, though =).
