• Make sure to use sweet potatoes that are fully cooked and soft for easy mashing.
• Be careful not to overmix the dough, as it can make the gnocchi tough.
• To make the gnocchi ahead of time, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen when ready to serve.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover gnocchi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, sauté the gnocchi in a skillet with a little butter until heated through.
• Serve the gnocchi as a main dish or as a side with a protein of your choice.
