Preheat the oven and prepare sweet potatoes by punching holes in them.

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven until cooked through.

Pat the sweet potatoes dry to remove excess moisture.

Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and let cool slightly.

Mix in flour until a dough forms, ensuring a higher potato-to-flour ratio for softness.

Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a rope, about 1 inch wide.

Cut the ropes into small pieces, about 1 inch long, to create dumplings.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the dumplings.

Cook until they float to the surface, about 1.5 minutes after floating.

Toast pumpkin seeds in a pan until golden brown for topping.

In a separate pan, melt butter and add sage and a splash of heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Season the butter sauce with a pinch of salt.

Serve the dumplings topped with the butter sauce, pumpkin seeds, and shaved parmesan cheese.
