Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them using a potato ricer or masher until completely smooth.
2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the flour, egg yolk, and salt. Gently mix until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will result in tough gnocchi.
3
Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope about 2 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces.
4
Optional: Roll each gnocchi piece over the tines of a fork to create ridges, which will help the sauce cling to the gnocchi.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain well.
6
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the heavy cream and simmer gently until the sauce slightly thickens.
7
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
8
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat them evenly in the truffle cream sauce.
9
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and freshly grated truffle.
