How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Cook the potatoes with their skin on in salted water until very tender. Peel and mash them into a smooth puree, ensuring no large chunks remain.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the egg and flour. Knead until you achieve a soft, manageable, and non-sticky dough. Add a little more flour if necessary.
3. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a 2 cm thick log. Cut into 2-3 cm pieces and press each with a fork to create traditional gnocchi grooves.
4. Boil the gnocchi in salted water in batches. They are ready when they float to the surface. Drain well and set aside on a plate.
5. Heat the cream in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled blue cheese, stirring constantly until melted into a creamy sauce.
6. Add the gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in chopped walnuts and black pepper to taste. Cook gently for a couple of minutes, ensuring the gnocchi are well coated.
7. Serve the gnocchi hot, garnished with extra chopped walnuts or a sprinkle of pepper if desired. Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
