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 hot, 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, and flour. Knead together into a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Cut into approximately 2 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
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 them.
6
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In another saucepan, melt the honey and brown sugar, then stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
8
Allow the sauce to thicken, then add a pinch of cinnamon for extra aroma.
9
In a dry skillet, toast the roughly chopped walnuts to enhance their flavor.
10
Pour the honey sauce over the toasted gnocchi, then gently toss to coat each piece.
11
Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and powdered sugar for the perfect finish.
12
Serve immediately, warm, drizzled with a little extra honey and garnished with walnuts!
