Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1 yolk
16g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 tsp fresh thyme
5g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the whole potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Cook until Tender: Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Drain and Cool: Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Peel off the skins while they are still warm, but not too hot to handle.

2. Mash Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and either mash them or pass them through a potato ricer until smooth. It's important to get out all lumps for smooth gnocchi.
3. Combine Ingredients: On a clean work surface, form a mound with the mashed potatoes. Create a well in the center and add the egg yolk. Gradually add the flour to the potato mound and gently mix together until a dough forms.
4. Knead Dough: Knead the dough just enough to bring it together, being careful not to overwork it. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
5. Shape Gnocchi: Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each section into long ropes (about the thickness of your thumb). Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. You can leave them as they are or roll each piece over the back of a fork to create ridges.
8. Add Cream and Herbs: Reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy whipping cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Add the fresh thyme and parsley, continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
9. Finish the Sauce: Add the lemon juice to the sauce and stir to combine. Add the butter, stirring until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
11. Serve: Plate the gnocchi with truffled mushrooms, garnishing with additional fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure your potatoes are well-cooked and completely dry before mashing to achieve the perfect gnocchi texture.

- Use a potato ricer or grater for smoother, lump-free potato mash.

- When forming the gnocchi dough, incorporate the flour gradually to avoid overworking the dough.

- Cook the gnocchi in batches to prevent them from sticking together in the pot.

- Experiment with different types of mushrooms to enhance the earthiness of the dish further.

- Drizzle a little additional truffle oil over the finished dish for an extra layer of luxury.

Gnocchi with truffled mushrooms is a true culinary treat, perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to indulge in a sophisticated and flavorful meal. The combination of fluffy gnocchi and the umami-rich truffled mushrooms makes for an unforgettable dining experience. Enjoy your delicious creation with a glass of your favorite wine!
