SWEET POTATOES WITH PARMESAN SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Steam or boil potatoes until teneder, about 15-20 minutes; drain if necessary, and allow to cool.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a 13x9-inch casserole or baking dish and set aside.
• In a large skillet, melt butter and cook until butter just starts to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the sage leaves and the salt and pepper and cook until the butter darkens to a deep golden color (but not burnt).
• Pour butter mixture over potatoes, add 3/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and toss well.
• Place potates in the prepared baking pan and cover with a lid or seal with aluminum foil; bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until heated through.

SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI WITH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil, place them directly on the oven rack, and bake for 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a skewer. Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly. Then peel them and pass them through a potato ricer into a large bowl (if you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash them with a fork). Let the sweet potato puree cool completely.
• Stir the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg into the sweet potato puree. Mix in enough flour to form a firm, slightly elastic dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Using your hands, gently roll 1 portion on the work surface to form a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut it crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece over the tines of a dinner fork to form grooves. Arrange the gnocchi in a single layer on a floured baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 3 portions of dough.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in 2 batches, cook the gnocchi in the boiling water for 4 minutes, or until they float and are tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a platter.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Add the sage and cook for 2 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the butter sauce over the gnocchi, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve.
