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 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 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 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 lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the rum liqueur, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the sugar is completely dissolved, add the heavy cream and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
9
Pour the rum liqueur sauce over the sautéed gnocchi, and gently toss to coat.
10
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and grated chocolate for an extra sweet and rich flavor.
11
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra cinnamon and grated chocolate.
