Preparation Steps
1
Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and boil in salted water for about 20 minutes until tender.
2
Drain the cooked potatoes, mash them in a bowl, and let them cool completely.
3
Add the flour, egg yolks, and a pinch of salt to the cooled potatoes. Knead until you have a soft, homogenous dough.
4
Divide the dough into four parts, roll each into a log about 2 cm thick, and cut into small pieces. Gently press each piece with a fork to create the characteristic gnocchi ridges.
5
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the gnocchi in smaller batches. Once they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), drain and set aside.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the smoked ham for 3-4 minutes until lightly crispy.
7
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Heat for a few minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
8
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy ham sauce.
9
Before serving, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and freshly ground black pepper.
