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 they are still warm, then mash them thoroughly with a potato ricer or fork in a bowl.
3
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead into a soft, but not sticky, dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs 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
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the espresso coffee, heavy cream, brown sugar, and vanilla. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and milk chocolate, and melt, stirring constantly.
9
Pour the coffee-chocolate sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
10
Sprinkle with cocoa powder and powdered sugar to enhance the flavors and create a more visually appealing presentation.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with extra chocolate shavings and a shot of espresso!
