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 until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll each into long cylinders. Using a sharp knife, cut into approximately 2 cm pieces.
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.
6
In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the cooked gnocchi until they are lightly golden brown.
7
In another saucepan, melt the honey and brown sugar, then add the cream and stir until the sauce is smooth.
8
Allow the caramel sauce to thicken slightly.
9
In a dry skillet, toast the coarsely chopped walnuts to enhance their flavor.
10
Pour the caramel sauce over the pan-fried gnocchi, and gently toss to coat each piece.
11
Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and powdered sugar for the perfect finishing touch.
12
Serve immediately, warm, garnished with a little extra caramel sauce and walnuts!
