Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them using a potato ricer or masher until completely smooth.
2
Combine the mashed potatoes with the flour, egg yolks, and salt. Gently knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will result in tough gnocchi.
3
Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 2 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces.
4
You can shape the cut pieces with a fork to create a ridged surface, which will help the sauce cling better.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain well.
6
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped garlic until fragrant.
7
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
8
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until it is completely melted into the sauce.
9
Add the cooked gnocchi and gently toss to coat them evenly with the creamy sauce.
10
Serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
