Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and place a steamer basket on top. Bring to a boil, then add sweet potatoes, and cover. Bring the water down to simmer, and steam for 30-40 minutes until fork tender. Cool, then remove the skin.
Place the sweet potatoes in a food processor, and process until smooth and creamy.
Add flour and sea salt, and pulse until combined and forms a dough.
Sprinkle a clean surface with extra flour and place the dough on top and knead. You can add more flour if the dough seems too wet.
Roll your dough into a log about 1 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch long pieces. If you’d like, use a fork to create indents on the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Stir in the gnocchi, and cook for about 2 minutes until they start rising to the top. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, then add the butter and sage leaves. Cook stirring until the butter starts smelling fragrant and forming brown specks.
Stir in garlic for 1 minute, then turn down the heat to medium low.
Add the gnocchi to the skillet, and gently toss to coat in the brown butter. Arrange the gnocchi in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes until a golden crust forms on the bottom.
Turn off heat, and stir in red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Serve warm, topped with parmesan cheese.
