Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 4 floury potatoes (about 800g) — bake them, don't boil
• 1 cup flour + extra for dusting
• 1 egg yolk
• ¾ tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter + 10 sage leaves + parmesan

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Bake the potatoes at 200°C for 1 hour. Baking keeps them dry, and dry potato is the secret to light gnocchi.
2. Scoop the flesh while hot, mash it fine, and let the steam escape for 5 min.
3. Add salt, flour and the yolk. Knead for only 30 seconds — the less you touch it, the softer they'll be.
4. Roll into thumb-thick ropes, cut into little pillows. Press a fork on top if you want the classic ridges.
5. Boil in salted water. When they float, count 30 seconds, then scoop them out.
6. Melt the butter with sage until it smells nutty, toss the gnocchi in, shower with parmesan. Pillowy. You'll be proud.
