Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s potato gnocchi is a traditional Italian pasta dumpling made from fluffy mashed potatoes, flour, and egg yolk, shaped into small pillows, then boiled and finished in a delicious sauce. The secret is to use minimal flour to keep the gnocchi light and tender.

Ingredients

Scale

  • For the gnocchi:

    • 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb), baked or boiled
    • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

  • For the butter sage sauce (optional):

    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 4 fresh sage leaves
    • 1 clove garlic, crushed
    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes – Boil or bake the potatoes until fork-tender. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth.
  2. Make the dough – On a floured surface, mix the mashed potatoes, flour, egg yolk, Parmesan, salt, and nutmeg until just combined.
  3. Shape the gnocchi – Roll the dough into ¾-inch thick ropes, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges if desired.
  4. Boil the gnocchi – Drop the gnocchi into salted boiling water. Once they float to the top, cook for 30 seconds more, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  5. Make the sauce – Melt butter in a pan, add sage leaves and garlic, then cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Sauté the gnocchi – Add the drained gnocchi to the pan and cook until lightly golden.
  7. Serve hot – Garnish with extra Parmesan and enjoy!
