Ingredients

2 cups potatoes
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 cup tarragon
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
1 1/3 cups plain flour
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch shredded parmesan (optional)

Steps

Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender, then drain and mash them.
Mix the warm potatoes with the flour, egg yolk, salt, cayenne, and half the tarragon until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into ropes on a floured surface, cut it into small pieces, and rest it for 10 minutes.
Boil salted water in a large pot, cook the gnocchi in batches until they float, and drain them.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the gnocchi for 4 to 5 minutes, and stir in the remaining tarragon and Parmesan.
