Instructions

  1. 1 Cut sweet potato in half lengthwise. Cut each in half again lengthwise, then in half cross-wise. Cut each piece in half to make about 16 evenly sized chunks. Transfer into pot; cover with water and add salt. Bring to a simmer on high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are tender, about 17 minutes. Drain thoroughly; return to pot and mash potatoes. You will need 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes. Cool thoroughly.
  2. 2 Transfer cooled mashed potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and buttermilk. Mix together until well combined.
  3. 3 Place self-rising flour in a separate mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into flour, tossing with a fork to coat with flour after each addition of about 1/3 to 1/2 stick. This will prevent butter from clumping. Mixture should look like floury pieces of butter. Add sweet potato mixture. Toss with a fork until evenly distributed, but don't overmix.
  4. 4 Transfer mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Push and press mixture together into a rectangular shape, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Dough will be floury and a bit crumbly. Fold rectangle into thirds, lifting up one-third and folding onto the middle and doing the same with the other side. Dust with a bit of flour if sticking.
  5. 5 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  6. 6 Press dough into a rectangle again, about 1 inch thick. Repeat the tri-fold step. Press out into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Trim off the rough edges to square off the sides; this will maximize rising. Cut into 8 equal portions. Transfer to prepared baking pan, spacing biscuits evenly. Brush tops lightly with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  7. 7 Bake in preheated oven until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
  8. 8 Mix 4 tablespoons butter (room temperature), pomegranate syrup, and pomegranate juice together in a small bowl. Spread on warm biscuits. Sprinkle with a few pomegranate seeds for garnish.

Instructions

  1. 1 Prick sweet potato all over with a sharp knife. Microwave until very soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle.
  2. 2 Cut potato in half and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash or blend until smooth. Add ricotta cheese, egg, kosher salt, and cayenne; mix with a spoon until smooth and combined. Stir in flour until mixture comes together into a sticky ball of dough, adding more flour as needed.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently, adding flour as needed, until no longer sticky. Divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a rope, about 1/2-inch thick, using flour as needed. Dust ropes with flour and cut with a bench scraper into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer pieces onto a sheet pan and let dry on the pan for 15 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate until needed.
  4. 4 Make sauce: Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Add butter; cook and stir until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in rosemary. Set sauce aside.
  5. 5 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in boiling water until they float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer gnocchi to sauce in the skillet.
  6. 6 Place the skillet over medium to medium-high heat; coat gnocchi with sauce, season with salt, and cook until heated through. Turn off heat and stir in 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  7. 7 Transfer gnocchi to a warm serving bowl and top with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano.
