Ingredients
  1. 1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound)
  2. 1 small russet potato (about ½ pound)
  3. ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  4. 1 tablespoon honey
  5. 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  6. 1½ teaspoons salt, divided
  7. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  8. 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  9. 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  10. 10 to 12 fresh sage leaves
  11. 3 shallots, finely chopped
  12. ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  13. 2 garlic cloves, minced
  14. ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  15. Garnish: shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook until tender, about 1 hour.
  2. When cool enough to handle, scoop potato flesh into ricer, and process over a large bowl. Add Parmesan, honey, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough comes together.
  3. On a well-floured surface, roll dough into 1-inch diameter logs, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add dough and cook until gnocchi float, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sage leaves, and cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sage and set aside. Add shallot, red onion, and garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, and cook until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Add gnocchi, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Serve with reserved crispy sage leaves and shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired.
