Gnocchi Gratin

• 1 lb potato, unpeeled
• 1 1/2 egg yolks
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
• additional flour, for dusting surface
• 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• For Garlic Cream
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed with a knife

1. Preheat oven to 375*F.
2. Boil the potatoes in salted water.
3. Peel and pass through a ricer.
4. While the potatoes are still warm, stir in the egg yolks, flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
5. On a floured surface, roll the mixture into 1 inch thick logs.
6. Cut the logs into 1 inch pieces; stand each piece on end and flatten with the palm of your hand into 1/4 inch thick disks.
7. Blanch the gnocchi a few at a time in boiling salted water until they rise to the surface.
8. Plunge them into a bowl of ice water.
9. Drain and pat dry.
10. Bring the cream and garlic to a boil, (I do this while the potatoes are boiling).
11. Remove from the heat and let stand for at least 1/2 hour.
12. Strain through a sieve and keep warm until ready to assemble the dish.
13. In a buttered gratin dish, layer the gnocchi, cheese and hot garlic cream, finishing with cream and cheese.
14. Bake for 35 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
