These Gnocchi are very good. My family loves them. Making them is a very sticky job though. I didn't not weigh my sweet potatoes so I don't know if I started with more than the reciped called for. I just kept adding more flour. They never got less sticky. Once made, I had a huge batch and froze them in a single layer then once frozen I transfered them to freezer bags. They make a great quick meal. My family has done a blind taste test with these vs. store bought gnocchi and mine came up the winner.
