Preheat the oven to 375 F
Poke sweet potatoes with a fork. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
Bake them in the oven for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender to a knife.
Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, then cut in half and peel off the skin.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork and measure out 1 ¾ cup sweet potato puree. Save the remaining sweet potato puree for a future recipe.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until cool.
Fill the large pot with water and place on the stove on low heat.
In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed sweet potatoes, egg yolks, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Season with Balinese Truffle Salt..
Lightly dust the cutting board with flour. Put the wet mixture onto the cutting board.
Reserve ¼ cup of flour (this will be our bench flour) and slowly chop the remaining flour into the wet mixture until the texture resembles play doh. Form the gnocchi dough into a disc.
Cut the dough into 6 wedges. Roll one wedge into a rope ¾ in thick. Use a knife or bench scraper to cut “knuckle” sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining wedges.
Roll the portions down a gnocchi board onto the sheet tray dusted with flour to form the gnocchis.
Melt butter until golden brown in a shallow pan. Add sage leaves and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt.
Add a pinch of salt to the large pot of boiling water and blanch the gnocchi for about 1 minute, or until all gnocchi are floating.
Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon, and place into the large pan with the brown butter sage sauce.
Toss gnocchi and brown butter sauce with the Truffle Carpaccio, and a squeeze of lemon.
Plate attractively with the sage leaves. If desired, sprinkle lightly with Balinese Truffle Salt.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
