Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare the potatoes by rinsing and poking holes in them before baking for about 1 hour until tender.
- Once cooled slightly, scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and rice it onto a baking sheet.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the egg, Parmigiano, and salt, then drizzle this mixture over the warm riced potatoes and sprinkle with flour.
- Gently work the mixture into a soft dough, adding more flour if necessary, then form into a disk and cut into slices, rolling each into balls.
- On a floured surface, roll each ball into a snake and cut into pieces, shaping each piece using a gnocchi paddle or fork.
- Boil salted water and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float, then transfer them to an oiled baking sheet.
- In a frying pan, cook the prosciutto until crispy, then remove and add the remaining butter and sage to fry until crisp.
- Let the butter brown slightly, then add the gnocchi, stirring gently to coat, and cook until heated through and golden.
- Crumble the prosciutto into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and serve garnished with fried sage and additional Parmigiano.
