Duck Confit Gnocchi
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Idaho® Russet potatoes, boiled and riced
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Zest of lemon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Shallot
- Whole butter
- 2 ounces white wine
- ½ cup chicken stock
- Duck confit
- Mustard frills
- Grana padano
Directions:
- Put the potatoes onto a floured, flat workspace and create a well. Crack egg into well and add other ingredients. Scramble eggs in the well, while incorporating other ingredients. Partially incorporate potatoes.
- Sprinkle ¾ cup flour on top. Switch to a bench scraper and fold into a homogenous mass. Use bench flour as needed. Do not overwork.
- Quarter the dough and roll into dowels with a ¾" diameter. In a wide pan with 8 in. of simmering water, cut ¾” pieces of dough from cutting board directly into the water using the bench scraper. When the gnocchi rise, continue cooking for one minute. Remove with a spider; drain and dress with a little olive oil. Refrigerate.
- Sauté́ shallot in a little butter until golden. Season with salt, pepper.
- Deglaze with white wine.
- Add good chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and add gnocchi and a little duck confit.
- Heat. Finish with a little whole butter to make a sauce. Remove pan from heat, add frills, toss and plate. Shave Grana Padano over the top. Don’t overcook the frills. They provide a necessary counterpoint to the decadence of the dish.
