Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until 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 a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. With a sharp knife, cut 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 over medium heat. Sauté the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, honey, heavy cream, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
8
Cook the sauce until it thickens slightly, then add the finely chopped candied orange peel to give a citrusy flavor and a touch of chewiness.
9
Pour the orange-cinnamon sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
10
Dust with powdered sugar and grated white chocolate for an extra sweet and special touch.
11
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a little extra candied orange peel and white chocolate!
