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, but not sticky, dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into long cylinders. Cut into approximately Ÿ-inch (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 of the water (about 2 minutes), then drain them.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the cooked gnocchi in the butter until lightly golden brown.
7
In a small saucepan, combine the Tokaji AszĂș wine, honey, vanilla extract, and grated lemon zest. Heat over medium heat.
8
Once the honey is completely dissolved, add the heavy cream and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
9
Add the raisins and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
10
Pour the Tokaji AszĂș sauce over the sautĂ©ed gnocchi and gently toss to coat each piece.
11
Dust with powdered sugar and fresh lemon zest for extra freshness.
12
Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a drizzle of extra honey and a splash of Tokaji AszĂș wine!
