Little Potato Nuggets

Paleo Yam Gnocchi

I'm not really that into pasta, so not eating it in a paleo lifestyle was not that difficult. I am however a big fan of gnocchi, and I'm also a big fan of figuring out fun new ways to eat yams since they have become such a big part of my diet and eating it the same way every time gets a little tiring. So here's a version of paleo gnocchi!

Ingredients:

• 1 large yam
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/4 tapioca starch
• 1/4 coconut flour

Process:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Cook yams to make them soft (I cut them in cubes, sprinkled with water and microwaved them for about 8 min).
3. Blend soft yams in food processor.
4. When yams have cooled enough, add egg, nutmeg, paprika, and salt and blend.
5. Add almond meal, tapioca starch, and coconut flour. Mix until it becomes a moldable dough. Add extra almond meal if needed.
6. Take a fist sized amount of dough and roll it with your hands to make a long snake of dough.
7. Cut line of dough into 1 in pieces.
8. Place on cookie sheet lined with tin foil. Press each piece with a fork to make indentation.
9. Bake for 10 min.
10. Enjoy! I drizzled mine with basil infused olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
