Ingredients

• 500 grams Starchy potatoes (e.g., Russets)
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 10 whole Italian plums (or small European plums)
• 5 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Start by washing and boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender (about 20–25 minutes). Once cooked, drain and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 2

Step 2: While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the plums by washing them and removing the pits. If the plums are large, cut them in half.

Step 3

Step 3: Pass the cooled potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. Place the mashed potatoes on a clean work surface.

Step 4

Step 4: Add the flour, a pinch of salt, and the egg yolk to the mashed potatoes. Knead the mixture gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough – it should be smooth but not sticky.

Step 5

Step 5: Divide the dough into 10 equal portions (one for each plum). Flatten a portion of dough into a disc, then place a plum (or half a plum if large) in the center. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar inside the plum. Wrap the dough around the plum, sealing it completely and forming a round dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and plums.

Step 6

Step 6: In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil and add a pinch of salt. Carefully drop the plum-filled dumplings into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 7

Step 7: While the gnocchi are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Stir in the cinnamon and remove the skillet from heat.

Step 8

Step 8: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the toasted breadcrumbs. Roll each dumpling in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Step 9

Step 9: Arrange the plum gnocchi on a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm.
