Instructions:
Make Gnocchi:
- Set oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake yukon gold potatos and sweet potatos, skin on, on a wire rack for approximately 45 min or until fork tender.
- Remove from oven, let cool.
- Remove skin and finely mash or rice both potatoes until there are no lumps.
- To a clean surface, or a large bowl, add potatoes, egg yolks, flour, and salt.
- Gently knead until soft and pillowy.
- If dough is sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. Note: Be sure not to add too much flour or over work/knead. Dough should be light and pillowy.
- Dust hands with flour. Take equal sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls.
- Using a piece of twine or string, make indents on top of dough balls to give it that pumpkin shape.
- Set aside by placing over flour dusted surface to keep from sticking.
- Cook the gnocchi in batches in a pot of boiling water. They will float to the top when they are ready.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl and cook remaining gnocchi.
Make Creamy Garlic Sauce:

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plating:

- Place gnocchi over top, then garnish with fresh sage and/or grated parmesan cheese.
