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 using a potato ricer or a 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 them into logs. Use a sharp knife to cut them into approximately 2 cm pieces.
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 them.
6
In a skillet, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and caramelizes.
7
Pour in the heavy cream and stir quickly to prevent the caramel from hardening, ensuring a silky smooth consistency.
8
Add the vanilla and salt, then stir until smooth, allowing the flavors to meld.
9
Gently toss the cooked gnocchi into the salted caramel sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.
10
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and ground nuts to add extra crunch and sweetness to the dish.
11
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a pinch of extra salt and a drizzle of caramel sauce!
