Sweet potato halusky
Sweet potato or pumpkin are wonderful to cook with in the autumn and winter months as they bring bright colours to your table. This dish is packed with lots of flavour, sweetness and textures. ‘Halusky’ is an Eastern European dish where you push the dough through a sieve with large holes. You can of course just roll the the dough into big gnocchi or pipe straight into the water.
