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 using a potato ricer or a fork in a bowl.
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 water to a boil and add salt. 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 they are lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract, then start to heat over medium heat.
8
Add the dark chocolate spread and stir until the sauce is completely smooth and silky.
9
In a dry skillet, toast the coarsely chopped hazelnuts to enhance their flavor.
10
Pour the chocolate cream over the toasted gnocchi, then gently toss to coat each piece.
11
Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts and powdered sugar for the perfect touch.
12
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra chocolate cream and hazelnuts!
