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 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 long cylinders. Cut the cylinders into approximately 2 cm pieces using 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 eggnog, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.
8
Once the sugar is completely dissolved, add the finely chopped white chocolate. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the white chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
9
Pour the eggnog sauce over the sautéed gnocchi, then gently toss to coat.
10
Sprinkle with cinnamon and extra powdered sugar to enhance the sweet and creamy flavor.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra grated white chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon.
