Sweet Potato Gnocchi

1 lb sweet potatoes, baked until tender
1/2 t salt
1/4 t nutmeg
1 egg
2 cups whole wheat flour.

Put water on to boil.
Mash the sweet potatoes.  Add salt and nutmeg, mix in egg.  Add flour a half cup at a time and knead in the flour - you might not need two cups.  I ran out of whole wheat so the last 1/2 cup was buckwheat.
Cut dough into four pieces and roll it out into a snake.  Remember when you were a little kid and you had play-dough and you would make snakes?  This is what you were practicing for.  When they are thin enough, cut them into gnocchi-sized pieces.  Professional gnocchi-makers will use the tines of a fork to dent in the sides, but I think my grandmother would've scowled at that.  She was not Italian, though, so do whatever you want.  Throw into the boiling water.  The gnocchi will sink.  When it floats, you can take it out.

Butter-sage sauce:
I did not have fresh sage... It would've been better with fresh.  When I plant my indoor herb garden I will have seasonal herbs, and fall/winter will have sage.

Melt some butter in a pan.  Add sage.  Let it cook.  I couldn't decide if it was done - it's supposed to "brown". Also, I didn't really care, butter is butter and it is always delicious.  I would add garlic next time.
