Ingredients:
* 3 large russet potatoes,
* oven-baked
* 4 cups (9 ounces)
* Cache Valley� Swiss
* Cheese, finely grated
* � cup heavy cream
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground
* black pepper
* � teaspoon freshly grated
* nutmeg
* 1 to 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 tablespoons flat leaf
* parsley, finely chopped
* 8 tablespoons (� cup)
* Cache Valley� Butter,
* melted
* 12 sage leaves
Method:
Bake potatoes in oven until fully cooked, maybe even slightly dried out. (Leftovers can be used; just warm potatoes before preparing gnocchi.) Set aside until cool. Mix 3 cups Cache Valley� Swiss Cheese and heavy cream together in a small bowl. Set aside. Peel and rice potatoes into a large bowl. (A fine grater can be used if you don't have a ricer.) Mix in egg, salt, nutmeg, parsley and 1 cup flour. Note: add just enough flour so the dough is pliable, but not sticky. Turn out onto a floured work surface. Divide dough in half. Cover one batch with damp kitchen towel. Roll other batch into �-inch thick rope. Cut rope into �-inch long pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into 2-inch circle with your thumb. Repeat same steps for second rope. Top each dough circle with � teaspoon cheese and cream mixture. Surround cream and cheese mixture with dough, pinch closed. Carefully roll into small, smooth ovals. Boil large pot of salted water. Place 8 to 12 gnocci in water, making sure no pieces are touching. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Strain each piece with a slotted spoon. Place on paper towel. In a skillet, melt 8 tablespoons (� cup) Cache Valley� Butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves. Cook until butter starts to slightly brown. Remove from heat immediately. Toss gnocchi in sage and brown butter sauce. Sprinkle remaining Cache Valley� Swiss Cheese on top. Garnish with parsley.
