I received free samples of California sweetpotatoes mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Sweetpotato Council and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ok, so my last post was also about these cool, […]
Oh how I love these sweet little potato dumplings. Gnocchi isn’t terribly difficult to make, it just takes some time. A little olive oil (or butter!) and some herbs finishes them off nicely.
