Preparation Sweet potato gnocchi with blue cheese by Andrea Boueiz
  1. Wash the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes at 200°C until the inside is very tender.
  2. Peel the potatoes while they're hot and pass them through a fine potato ricer.
  3. Add the egg yolk and salt and mix well.
  4. Add the flour and stir with a spoon just until the flour is incorporated (do not overmix).
  5. Transfer to a piping bag and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  6. Prepare a pot of salted water and bring it to a boil.
  7. Take the piping bag and, using a knife, squeeze and cut the dough directly into the water to form small dumplings. Once the gnocchi float, drain them and set aside in a bowl.
  8. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the peas, cook for 2 minutes.
  9. Add the gnocchi, a pinch of salt, and a little of the gnocchi cooking water. Cook for 1 minute until you have a creamy sauce.
  10. Serve in a deep plate, scatter pieces of blue cheese on top and finish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
