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 through a potato ricer or with a fork in a bowl.
3
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead until you have a soft, but not sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Cut the logs 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 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 champagne, honey, vanilla extract, and grated lemon zest. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the honey is completely dissolved, pour in the heavy cream and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
9
Pour the champagne sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat each piece.
10
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh strawberries for an elegant and festive dessert.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with extra lemon zest and a splash of champagne!
