Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-large russet baking potato, about 1 1/2 cups grated
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, for pan frying
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • A few fresh sage leaves and one smashed clove of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon flour, for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Bake the russet potato until tender, then peel and grate it finely to yield about 1 1/2 cups of shreds.
  • In a clean bowl, combine the grated potato with pumpkin puree. Create a well in the center, crack the egg into it, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Whisk the egg and then mix everything together by hand until a smooth dough forms; avoid overmixing and shape into a loaf.
  • Cut the dough into slices, roll each into a long rope, cut into bite-sized pieces, and dust lightly with flour.
  • Boil salted water, add gnocchi in batches, and cook until they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add the cooked gnocchi, and pan-fry until one side is lightly crispy.

Notes

- Use a starchy potato like Russet for the best gnocchi texture.
- Grate the potato finely for a smoother dough.
- Don't overwork the dough; mix just until combined.
- Pan-frying gives the gnocchi a delightful crispy exterior.
