1
Cook the Potatoes
Begin by boiling the russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Then, peel the skin off and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool completely.
3
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
4
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until it is smooth. Avoid over-kneading.

5
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the rope into small pieces, about 1 inch long.
6
Create the Gnocchi Shape
Using a fork, gently press each piece to create ridges on one side. This will help with sauce adhesion.

7
Boil the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
8
Drain the Gnocchi
Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi from the water and set them aside on a plate.

9
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is slightly browned and the sage is crispy.
10
Toss the Gnocchi
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss them in the sage brown butter until well-coated.
11
Serve
Plate the gnocchi and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
