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
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead into a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Cut into approximately 2 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
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.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet, then sauté the cooked gnocchi until lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the cream, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the honey and sugar have completely dissolved, add the finely chopped candied ginger and simmer the sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally.
9
Pour the ginger sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
10
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with a little extra candied ginger to enhance the flavors.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon!
