Ingredientes
  

For the gnocchi:

  • 1 kilo mashed potatoes
  • 1 egg

Instrucciones
 

For the gnocchi:

  • To boil the potatoes (skin on), start with cold water. Once tender, let them cool down a little and peel.
  • Mash them, add egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg and mix well.
  • Place the flour on the work surface and make a well in the center. Place the puree and form the dough with your hands, kneading as little as possible. 
  • Roll into ropes and cut into small segments. If you wish, you can roll them onto a gnocchi board or a fork for a more traditional look. 
  • Fill a large pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cook them in batches. At first, they will sink to the bottom, but once they come up to the surface, they are ready. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Serve immediately with the sauce.

For the sauce:

  • On a skillet place the butter cut into bits and stir over medium fire. When the butter turns golden, add the sage leaves, and cook until crispy. It only takes a few seconds! Remove from the fire, season with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:
  • Place the gnocchi on the floured countertop or tray as you go cutting them, to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Spread them out on a floured tray, pop them in the freezer, and transfer to a plastic bag when they are completely frozen. To cook, drop them in boiling water straight from the freezer.
