Sweet Potato Gnocchi – Garlic Butter Sage Fried Gnocchi

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

We start with fresh sweet potatoes, chosen for their natural sweetness and deep flavor. They’re mashed and mixed with egg and just enough flour to create a dough that’s soft and easy to shape.

After being cut into small pieces, our gnocchi take a quick dip in simmering water, turning into delicate clouds of goodness. But we don’t stop there. We give them a nice, crispy outside by cooking them in a hot pan with a little olive oil. This gives them a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements their soft insides.

The finishing touch is a blend of flavors. Butter, garlic and sage come together, creating a lovely, fragrant sauce that wraps around each gnocchi. These ingredients work together, making the sweet potato’s natural sweetness even better and filling the dish with a comforting warmth.

A sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory touch that balances out the sweet potatoes. The result is a plate that looks and tastes amazing.

Whether you eat it on its own or with your favorite sauces, our tasty Homemade Sweet Potato Gnocchi is a great dish you can have for lunch or dinner.

How to make sweet potato gnocchi

First, heat up your oven to 375°F (190°C). Give your potatoes a good wash and poke them a few times with a fork all around. Then, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Let them bake for 45-60 minutes until a knife easily slides through. Once they’re done, allow them to cool a bit. Afterward, peel and mash them up well, using either a potato masher or a grater.

In a big bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, and flour until they stick together. Then, knead it all until you have a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Dust your hands and work surface with flour, and cut a piece of dough. Roll it into a rope about 3/4-inch (2cm ) thick, and cut it into 1/2-inch (1cm) pieces. Shape each gnocchi with a fork and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet dusted with a little flour.

Give them a 15-20 minute rest before boiling. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the gnocchi in batches. When they float up to the surface, let them sit for another minute, then scoop them out with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large dish.

How to make Garlic Butter Sage Fried Gnocchi

For a mouthwatering garlic butter sage fried version, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a big frying pan. Toss in your boiled gnocchi (about 1 pound or 500g) and season with salt and pepper. Cook them up for around 5-6 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Transfer them in a bowl.

In the same pan, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Toss in the fresh sage leaves and let them cook for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Pop the fried gnocchi back in the pan and give it a good mix. Sprinkle in some Parmesan cheese, a bit more salt and pepper, and stir it all together.

Finish off your dish with some Parmesan shavings and fresh sage leaves. Savor and enjoy the dish while still warm. Hope you will try it out, and if you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to freeze gnocchi you must freeze them uncooked. Put the gnocchi in one layer on a baking tray and place in the freezer. Freeze for about 2-3 hrs. Remove and put the gnocchi in freezer bags. Store in the freezer until ready to cook. Frozen gnocchi must be cooked directly in hot boiling water.

Meat and Potato Skillet

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:45:03 +0000

How to make Meat and Potato Skillet

The dish begins by cooking the potatoes into the skillet. I like to use a combination of regular potatoes and sweet potatoes. Feel free to use only one type of potatoes if that is what you have on hand. Cook the potato cubes until tender and transfer to a medium bowl. It is best to use a non-stick skillet if possible.

Now it’s time for browning the ground pork and beef in the skillet, adding in diced onions and garlic for added flavor. To add complexity to the dish, add a mixture of seasonings such as smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder and thyme. At this point I like to add tomato paste which brings an amazing flavor to the whole dish. Stir it in and add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet. Top with grated cheese and broil for 3 -4 minutes or until cheese is melted. You can garnish the dish with fresh herbs and crispy bacon.

The sweetness of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory beef and pork mixture, and the potatoes add a nice texture to the dish.

Serve this dish with fresh salad and crusty bread for a filling and satisfying meal. It’s a great way to incorporate some vegetables in your diet.

You can always adjust this recipe by adding your own favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or even zucchini, and also you can switch up the meat and make it with turkey or chicken.

Hope you will try this comforting Meat and Potato Skillet as I am sure it will soon become a family favorite dish in your recipe rotation. Tag me on Instagram if you do and enjoy!

For this recipe, first, you have to make sure you have prepared the mashed sweet potatoes in advance. You can boil, steam, microwave, or roast a small sweet potato, let it cool and mash it with a fork. You can also consider leaving the sweet potato out and substituting it with more milk or pumpkin puree.

Prepare the dough and let it rise for at least one hour until doubled in size. On a floured surface, divide the dough into 16 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place a greased bowl into the center of a greased skillet and arrange the balls around it. Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes until you prepare the walnut cranberry cheese dip.

If you are in a hurry, you can also consider using pre-made store-bought dough, but making it from scratch always brings the best results.

Toast the pecans in a skillet or in the oven and chop them into small pieces. Mix the cream cheese with honey and cinnamon and stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add the toasted pecans and cranberries and mix to combine.

Remove the bowl from the skillet and fill the center with the cheese dip. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is warm and melted and the bread is golden brown. It looks so appetizing that I can assure you, everybody will be delighted.

Korean Vegetable Pancakes – Yachaejeon

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 14:28:56 +0000

These flavorful Korean Vegetable Pancakes called Yachaejeon are one of the best vegetable dishes you can ever prepare. The pancakes are cooked until crispy and golden brown and are best served with a spicy soy dipping sauce. They make a delicious and comforting side dish and a family favorite for sure.

How to make Korean Vegetable Pancakes?

The recipe for these vegetable pancakes is really easy and quite quick to prepare. First, you need to cut the vegetables into thin strips and mix them with a mixture of flour, water and cornstarch. You can consider cutting your vegetables in advance and have them ready for later.

I have used carrots, sweet potato, cabbage, red pepper, onion and green chili. It is a winning combination as the pancakes turned really crisp and full of flavor. The beauty of these pancakes is that you can use whatever vegetables you have around. You can also consider adding zucchinis or mushrooms if you prefer them better and leave out some of the other vegetables.

To make crispy pancakes you need to heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and cook the batter in batches. Cook over medium heat for several minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking on both sides until it reaches the desired crispness.

Enjoy the pancakes while still warm and crispy with the soy dipping sauce. You can prepare the dipping sauce in advance. Simply mix soy sauce with some vinegar, chili pepper and some toasted sesame seeds.

If you like vegetable pancakes you may also like these Korean Zucchini Pancakes called Hobakjeon. These Zucchini Fritters are also a delightful treat and perfect for the zucchini season. These Vegetable Egg Rolls are also a delightful vegetable treat that you can either bake or fry.

Hope you will try these delicious savory Korean Vegetable Pancakes and let me know if you try them out. Enjoy!

Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 12:40:43 +0000

This Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies is a great idea for an easy one-pan quick dinner. This flavorful chicken is coated in honey, chili, and BBQ sauce and baked until tender alongside some perfectly roasted mixed potatoes and broccoli.

This sweet chili glaze is amazing. I love to use it over chicken as in this BBQ Chicken Wings recipe.

For this sheet pan, I use both regular and sweet potatoes. They are bursting with flavor due to the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, and herbs coating. The breadcrumbs make the potatoes crispier and I usually like to add a bit of breadcrumb to my potato recipes.

I have used broccoli this time for my BBQ Chicken Sheet Pan but feel free to use any other veggies that suit your tastes better. Brussels Sprouts, cauliflower, green beans, or asparagus are great choices for sheet pans.

This meal is quick and effortless to prepare, making it a great weeknight dinner option. Serve with a side of rice or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Hope you will try this easy Sheet Pan BBQ Chicken and Roasted Veggies, and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you do. Would love to see how it turned out for you. Enjoy as we sure did.

Veggie Burgers – Sweet Potato Burger Patties

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 11:51:54 +0000

Here we are at the beginning of the year. Trying to eat healthier is probably for many of us a new year resolution. I am so excited to share with you the recipe for the best veggie burgers I have ever tried, that will make a great lunch or dinner idea. It is so delightful, that even the meat lovers will consider switching the beef burgers for these veggie ones, at least from time to time.

My family and I really loved these sweet potato burgers and we were quite surprised by their incredible flavor and texture as I must say they surpassed our expectations.

These easy veggie burger patties are made with sweet potatoes and beans as main ingredients. They are full of fiber and very nutritious. As the sweet potatoes and half of the beans are mashed together, the patties hold their shape very well without being mushy.

Depending on the size of your burger buns you can shape the sweet potato burgers larger or smaller or as thick or thin you desire. Another great thing is that these veggie burger patties can also freeze very well and have for later use.

The patties can be cooked on a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side until crisp and golden or you can even consider baking them.

We have served these veggie burgers with a flavorful freshly made avocado sauce, BBQ sauce and toppings like lettuce, tomato and onion rings. Feel free to choose your favorite toppings and sauces to suit your own tastes. Hope I have convinced you to try these out and enjoy as much as we did!

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Ella - Home Cooking Adventure — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 13:27:32 +0000

Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are a staple for many during the Thanksgiving season, and while the traditional dishes are always appreciated, sometimes it’s nice to switch things up a bit. That’s where these twice-baked stuffed potatoes come in – they are the perfect combination of sweet and savory and are sure to be a hit with your guests.

The recipe is simple, but the results are delicious. Start by baking your sweet potatoes until they are tender and soft on the inside. Then, scoop out the flesh and mix it with a blend of savory spices and cheeses, along with some crispy bacon and toasted pecans for added texture and flavor. Once the filling is complete, you can stuff it back into the potato skins and bake them once more until they are crispy and golden on the outside.

One of the best things about this recipe is that you can make the stuffed potatoes in advance. For this, you can skip the second baking process and simply cover the stuffed potatoes and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Then, when you’re ready to serve them, just bake them for the second time right before your guests arrive. This means you can spend more time socializing and enjoying the company of your loved ones, and less time in the kitchen on the day of your gathering.

In addition to being a great dish for Thanksgiving, these stuffed sweet potatoes are also perfect for other fall and winter gatherings. They are hearty and comforting and are sure to please even the most discerning palates.

How to make stuffed sweet potatoes

First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and prepare your potatoes by washing them and pricking them with a fork several times on all sides. Then, rub each potato with olive oil and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. While the potatoes are baking, cook your bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is crisp. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.

Once the potatoes are done, make a cut on top of each potato and scoop out the inside of each potato, transferring the flesh into a medium bowl. Add salt and nutmeg to the bowl, and stir them in. Next, add ¾ cup (75g) of cheese, cream cheese, and green onion to the mixture, as well as the crumbled bacon (reserving some crumbs for topping).

Next, divide the potato mixture back into the potato shells, and top each one with the remaining ¼ cup (25g) of cheddar cheese. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Before serving, sprinkle the remaining bacon, chopped toasted pecans, and green onion over the top of the stuffed sweet potatoes.

So why not give this recipe a try this season and see for yourself just how delicious it can be? Your guests are sure to be delighted with this new take on a classic favorite, and you’ll be glad you took the time to try something new and exciting in the kitchen. If you do try them out, make sure to tag me on Instagram, as I love seeing how they turned out for you. Enjoy!
