Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in their skins in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and when cool enough to handle, peel them and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. Spread the mashed potato out on a floured surface and allow them to cool completely.
Once the potatoes are cool, create a well in the center and sprinkle the flour and salt evenly on top. Place the egg yolk in the well.
Using a fork, gently incorporate the egg yolk into the potatoes and flour. Then knead the dough gently but quickly until it comes together in a soft, slightly sticky ball. Avoid over-kneading to keep the gnocchi tender.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Optionally, roll each piece over the back of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges that will help sauce cling to the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches, dropping them into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm platter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter begins to brown lightly and the sage becomes crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Toss the cooked gnocchi in the browned butter and sage sauce, coating them evenly. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Serve the gnocchi immediately with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
