3 Ingredient Paleo Sweet Potato Dough

Years ago I made a Paleo Sweet potato Gnocchi and the kids ate them before I had dinner ready. I have been craving them, but couldn't find the recipe. My Sister, mom and I stumbled onto this amazing recipe and my Sister rolled a gnocchi in some butter and sprinkled it with salt and said it tasted like a pretzel. We have become obsessed with the endless possibilities with this dough and it hasn't disappointed.

Paleo Sweet Potato Dough
3 cups cooked sweet potato (bake 5-6 sweet potatoes at 350 for an hour)
1 egg
1-2 cups Tapioca starch (I get this at Winco in the bulk section, Bobs Red Mill makes it also)

Directions: scoop potatoes out of skins and mash them till all lumps are out. Add 1 cup of Tapioca starch and mix,add egg and combine. At 1/4 cup increments add Tapioca starch till the dough is workable. you want to be able to roll it with out it sticking, but not too dry.


Paleo Pretzels
Roll dough out with extra tapioca starch onto parchment paper into round long "snake like" strips. Shape into pretzels. Bake at 350 for 20 mins. Turn oven to broil for 2-3 mins and let top turn golden brown, pull them out of oven and butter tops and sprinkle with course salt. I love the course Himalayan Pink salt from sprouts.




















Gnocchi
Roll dough out with extra tapioca starch onto parchment paper into round long "snake like" strips. cut into half inch peieces and roll with a fork. Bake at 375 for 15 mins. Check the bottoms to see if they are golden brown.
I love to saute them in butter and garlic and add them to spicy sausage and peppers.


  






Paleo Flat Bread
Take a ball of dough roll it till smooth and then flatten it on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 15 mins. I like a crispy outside, so I broils till the top is crispy or I have toasted them up on a griddle. you can make pizza, navajo tacos, top it with eggs and bacon, so many tasty things!
