Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until they are completely tender.
2
Peel the potatoes while still warm, then mash them in a bowl using a potato ricer or a fork.
3
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll each portion into a long, thin cylinder. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into approximately 2 cm pieces.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in small batches until they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), then drain them.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet, then pan-fry the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In another saucepan, melt the honey and brown sugar. Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth.
8
Allow the caramel sauce to thicken slightly, then add the grated lemon zest and cinnamon.
9
Candy the fruit in the caramel sauce, then add a little extra sugar to achieve a sticky texture.
10
Pour the caramelized fruit over the pan-fried gnocchi and gently toss to coat each piece.
11
Dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon for the perfect finishing touch.
12
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra candied fruit!
