Remove the peel from the potatoes, cut them into large pieces and cook them in boiling hot salted water. Drain and put on the stove for a short time. While still hot, press the potatoes through a potato ricer. Knead together with flour, egg and spices to form a smooth dough. Form gnocchi with your hands.
Small tip: form a small bit of dough into a roll (about 2-3 cm thick), cut into small pieces (about 2 cm thick), shape them into balls and press them in with a fork.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float to the top.
Meanwhile, roast sage leaves in butter until brown.
Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon, pour the sage butter over them and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
The gnocchi also go well with Paradeiser sauce and Parmesan cheese.
Variations_ * Herb gnocchi: Under the finished gnocchi dough still in about 2-3 tbsp very finely chopped kitchen herbs and perhaps another tbsp flour form, so that the dough is not too wet.
* Ham gnocchi: Mix 100 g of very finely diced raw ham under the finished gnocchi dough.
* Stuffed gnocchi: Shape the gnocchi a little bigger and fill them with the following mixtures: Fresh goat cheese and grated Gruyère, well mixed or possibly finely chopped mushrooms with shallots and parsley sautéed in butter and seasoned, mixed with a little Parmesan.
