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 through a potato ricer or with a fork in a bowl.
3
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, flour, and gingerbread spice mix. Knead until a soft, but not sticky, dough forms.
4
Divide the dough into several parts and roll them into long ropes. Cut the ropes 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, then sauté the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the sugar has completely dissolved, add a little extra gingerbread spice mix. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
9
Pour the gingerbread cream sauce over the sautéed gnocchi, then gently toss to coat each piece.
10
Sprinkle with coarsely chopped walnuts and powdered sugar for the perfect Christmas touch.
11
Serve immediately while warm, drizzled with a little extra honey and sprinkled with gingerbread spice mix!
