Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Bake sweet potatoes until fully tender – this determines the moisture level of the dough.
- • Achieve the right dough consistency: not too wet (will be sticky) and not too dry (will be crumbly).
- • Cook gnocchi only until they float and for a brief extra 2 minutes – overcooking makes them mushy.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
- • Boiling water can cause severe burns – use a pot holder and keep children away.
- • Sharp knife – cut away from your body and keep fingertips tucked.
