Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 medium sweet potatoes about 20 ounces total
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more if needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and bake until tender, about 45-50 minutes.
  • Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, let cool slightly, peel, and mash the flesh until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. If sticky, add 1 more tablespoon of flour at a time until dough is easier to work with.

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
