I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place water in mixing bowl, add sweet potatoes to simmering basket and place in TMX bowl with lid on. Steam 20mins/varoma/speed 2 or until soft.
Remove potatoes and allow to drain and cool to room temp (or put in fridge for 20 mins)
Place sweet potatoes in mixing bowl and add egg, salt to taste and herbs if using. mash 10 sec/speed 3
With blades spinning at speed 2, add flours through lid 1 tbsp at a time until the dough comes together. It must still be soft but malleable and dry to touch (slightly sticky- see photo)
Scoop 1/6 of the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and roll into 25cm snake, about 2cm thick. Cut snake into 2.5cm pieces then shape by rolling each piece over the prongs of a fork (this is the same preparation method as the gnocchi recipe uses in the Basic Cookbook). Set aside on lightly floured surface.
Drop gnocchi into pot of salted boiling water and cook until they all bounce back to the surface (approx 45 seconds) Serve immediately with sauce stirred though
Tip
(optional* depending on what sauce you make, if a subtler sauce like sage butter, add lots of herbs- sage, thyme, rosemary etc. I add dried Italian herbs if doing a bolognese sauce. Leave seasoning out if sauce has a strong flavour like pesto)
This is delicious with bolognese sauce or basil and spinach pesto. Great for kids too!
store any unsed raw mixture in the fridge, rolled into a thick sausage and wrapped in cling wrap for up to 2 days.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Natalie014:Hi there, I'm not sure about the weight but I basically just filled the steaming basket and it worked out well
Loved this! I served it with a batch of macadamia pesto and some bacon stired through. Next time I think I will cut them a little smaller so ensure even cooking. Thanks for sharing!!!
Would a store brought gluten free flour work with this?
Yummo, lovely recipe.
great easy recipe. easy to follow and the results were fantastic. my 19mth old loved it and husband was quite surprised also.
Roughly what weight is the 2x medium sweet pot? Thanks,
