Ingredients
For the Gnocchi:
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
For the Brown Butter Sage Sauce:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 8-10 fresh sage leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh rosemary sprigs optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes, then prick them a few times with a fork. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Once done, let the potatoes cool slightly, then peel them and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth.
- Make the Gnocchi Dough: Spread the mashed potatoes on a clean work surface and let them cool completely.
- Sprinkle the salt and chopped rosemary over the potatoes. Pour the beaten egg over the top and sift the flour over everything.
- Using your hands, gently mix and knead the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be smooth but not sticky. Add more flour if necessary.
- Shape the Gnocchi: Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. If desired, roll each piece over the tines of a fork to create ridges, which help the sauce cling better.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. They are done when they float to the surface, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate.
- Prepare the Brown Butter Sage Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the brown butter sage sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi evenly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of black pepper, and fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
