In a bowl mix together the sweet potato, garlic, salt, nutmeg, and egg. Add in the flour a little at a time until a dough forms, making sure not to over knead.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Roll the dough on a floured surface into large snakes and cut into 1-inch sections. Drop the pieces into the boiling water and let cook until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.
While the gnocchi cooks, prepare a skillet with the butter and sage. Let melt and warm. Add in the gnocchi once cooked and toss to coat. Let brown a little before serving.
Notes
The art of gnocchi is to barely knead the dough, otherwise the dumplings will be rubbery.
Add Parmesan cheese if desired.
