Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter, Sage and Whipped Feta

Serves 2

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 lb Sweet potato gnocchi store-bought or homemade
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • ~ 1/2 cup feta cheese from a block in brine
  • ~1/4 cup heavy cream you might need more depending on what feta you use, so have a carton on hand!

Directions 

  • In a food processor, blend feta cheese and 3 tbsp heavy cream until smooth and creamy, creating whipped feta. If needed, add the rest of the heavy cream. Use a spoon shmear it on a plate. Set aside while you make the gnocchi. Or you can make this ahead of time and store in an airtight container — keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Cook the sweet potato gnocchi according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe. Drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and let them crisp up in the butter until fragrant. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Add the cooked sweet potato gnocchi to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the brown butter and sage. Fry and allow the gnocchi to get a golden brown color.
  • Plate the fried sweet potato gnocchi on the feta and drizzle with the brown butter sage. Add a squeeze of lemon if desired.
