Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 fresh sage leaves
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes whole in salted water until tender. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel.
- Mash the peeled potatoes in a large bowl. Gradually mix in flour and salt, then add the egg until a soft dough forms.
- Divide dough into portions, roll into ropes about 1-inch thick, cut into small pieces, and create ridges using a fork.
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Cook gnocchi in batches; they're done when they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- In a skillet over low heat, melt butter and add sage until fragrant. Toss cooked gnocchi in the mixture until well coated.
- Plate the gnocchi and finish with grated cheese or nuts if desired.
