▢ ¼ tsp Pepper
▢ 1/2 Egg yolk
▢ 130-150g All-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 200C
Place the unpeeled sweet potatoes on a tray and make holes on the sweet potato using a sharp knife
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 60-75 minutes until they are cooked through
Once cooked take it out of the oven, before it cools down, peel the skin and scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes
Using a grater grate the sweet potato or mash it using a masher
Add flour, egg, salt and pepper into the sweet potato and lightly knead the dough on a work surface dusted with flour
Roll it out to a long log shape and cut into 6 equal portions
Taking one portion at a time roll it to a long log and cut into smaller pieces
Using a fork press the dough pieces on the fork and using your thumb roll it back to form small gnocchis

Boil a pot of water on high heat, Once the water is boiling add the gnocchi in the boiling water
When the gnocchis emerge to the surface strain it using a slotted spoon and leave aside

Preheat a pan with 2 tbsp of oil on medium heat, once the pan is hot, add the blanched gnocchi into then pan and pan-fry until it forms a small crust or it has a golden brown colour ( This step is optional but highly recommended)
Heat a pan with butter and cook for 2-3 minutes until it is dissolved and turns into a brown butter (Please note it is important to keep an eye on the butter because it can quickly turn into a burnt butter)
Once it has turned brown add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper

Grate parmesan and serve it immediately
