ingredients
- 1 pound (500g) purple potatoes
- 1 cup flour
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- Sage leaves
- 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- Salt
- Pepper
- slices of parmesan cheese
Method
Step 1
Peel and boil the potatoes for 20 minutes until soft, then mash them.
Step 2
Add the beaten egg, salt, pepper, and flour to potato mash and knead until a dough is formed. Rest the dough for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Break pieces from the dough and roll out 1 cent diameter pieces. Slice 1" pieces.
Step 4
Roll the pieces gently on the back of a fork for a nice gnocchi shape and texture.
Step 5
Boil gnocchi in salted boiling water for 3 minutes (they will be floating). Catch gnocchi with a strainer and set them aside.
Step 6
In a pan, melt the butter and stir chopped mushrooms, sage, minced garlic, ground nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Add in the gnocchi and stir until they are combined with the sauce and browned.
Step 8
Serve with mushroom-sage butter sauce and parmesan slices.
