INSTRUCTIONS
~ALYCE MANTIA Amy, here is what I do: Take 4 medium boiling
potatoes (about 2 lbs). Boil in salted water until tender (30 minutes
or so?). Drain and peel. Return to pan and mash over low heat with a
potato masher until no lumps remain. Remove from heat and mix in 1 egg
yolk, lightly beaten, and about a cup of flour. When well blended,
turn onto a floured board and knead in more flour (may take as much as
another cup, probably more like 1/2 cup) until soft and pliable but
not too sticky. Cut in 4 pieces and roll each into a rope about as
thick as your thumb. Cut into 1" lengths. Hold a fork, tines down, on
the board with the curved side away from you. Roll each piece against
the tines to make the little indentations about 1/2 way round and
curve slightly (you really don't have to do this but it looks cute,
and IS authentic). Place on a floured baking sheet as you do them. You
can either cook right away or keep a few hours, uncovered, in the
fridge. Try this sauce over them: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium pan.
Add 1 clove garlic, very finely minced. Stir a couple of times and add
1 cup heavy cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until reduced to about
3/4 cup. Add 4 oz Gorgonzola and stir until melted. Now drop the
gnocchi into boiling salted water and cook until they just rise to the
top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a heated platter with a slotted spoon
or skimmer as they come up. Pour the sauce over them and sprinkle with
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts and serve at once. This is very rich,
but WONDERFUL! Let me know if this works. Regards from Memphis, Alyce
