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
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 each into a log. Cut the logs into approximately 2 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
5
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add salt. Cook the gnocchi in small batches until they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), then drain.
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 orange juice, honey, and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
9
Pour the orange and dark chocolate sauce over the sautéed gnocchi, then gently toss to coat.
10
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and grated orange zest for an extra burst of flavor.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra chocolate shavings and orange zest!
