Sift the flour over the surface of the potato and mix and then add the egg yolk, salt, white pepper and garlic and mix until you have a soft dough, do not overwork it. Add a little more flour if needed.

Dust a work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a 40cm long sausage shape; cut into 3cm pieces.

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and tip in a third of the gnocchi. Stir briefly, then wait for them to rise to the surface, about 3 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside before repeating.

 

Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat until foaming add the gnocchi and Fry until golden brown, then stir in the parsley and grate over the Parmesan to serve.
