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 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 you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll each into a long rope. Using a sharp knife, cut the ropes into approximately 2 cm pieces.
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.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, raspberries, red currants, honey, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat.
8
Cook the red berry sauce until the fruits soften, then purée the sauce through a sieve or with an immersion blender until smooth.
9
Add the mascarpone cheese and stir over low heat until the sauce is fully combined and creamy.
10
Pour the red berry-mascarpone sauce over the sautéed gnocchi and gently toss to coat.
11
Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with freshly grated lemon zest for the perfect finishing touch.
12
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a few extra fresh red berries!
