Sweet Potato gnocchi with kale, sage and brown butter

---

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 1/2  cups 00 flour
• Kosher salt
• 2- 3 large handfuls chopped kale
• 3 tablespoons chopped sage
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced 
• 1/4 cup butter
• Freshly grated Parmesan to sprinkle on top

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Bake potatoes for about 40-50 minutes until tender.  Let cool. 
2. Scoop flesh into bowl and mash with a potato ricer or fork.  
3. On your four dusted counter or a board, knead together flour, sweet potatoes, and a dash of salt. Add more flour if needed so dough is not overly sticky.
4. Shape dough into flat disc and cut into fourths
5. Roll each portion into long rope, use flour as needed.
6. Cut each rope into bite-sized pieces and roll lightly against the back of a fork to add grooves (optional).
7. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil, add gnocchi in batches.  Cook until they float to the top - about 4 minutes.  Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
8. Melt butter in skillet over medium low heat. When butter foams, add sage, kale, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir frequently until kale has wilted and sage is crisp - just a few minutes.
9. Add gnocchi to pan with kale and sage.  Saute until golden, about 1-2 minutes per side.  

Serve with freshly grated Parmesan on top.
