-
Bake potatoes at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and cooked through.
-
Chop garlic fine (either in a press or food processor).
-
Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes in half and scoop the inside into a bowl. Press through a ricer. (Alternatively, mash potatoes well with a fork.)
-
In a large bowl, mix the garlic and potato with egg, nutmeg, and salt. Add flour a little at a time, incorporating more until a dough forms. If dough is still sticky, add more flour. (Be careful to add just enough or gnocchi can become heavy.)
-
Roll out the dough into a thin strip. Cut gnocchi into small pieces and set aside on a tray of parchment paper.
-
Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add gnocchi. Gnocchi is cooked when it floats to the top; scoop out with a slotted spoon or mesh skimmer.
-
Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat. Brown the butter, careful not to let it burn, and add the sage. Add the gnocchi, toss to coat, and cook for one minute more.
-
Sprinkle with parmesan and serve.
