How can potato taste like a fluffly pillow?

Anecdote

Binging with Babish, a talented YouTuber who recreates dishes from movies and TV shows, is a staple in my household. You should definitely give his channel a peruse if you have not done so already. He also has a 'Basics' series where he explores classic dishes and we cooked his gnocchi dish from that (the sage brown butter one as he explored a few).

Ingredients

Gnocchi:

  • 4 large potatoes

  • 1 egg

  • All-purpose flour

Brown Butter Sage Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 handful shallots, minced (we did not bother with this)

  • Sage leaves

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed

  • 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter

  • 115g grated parmesan cheese
