Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fill a large saucepan with water. Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Continue to boil until potatoes are very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain and run through a food mill or a ricer for a nice, smooth consistency. Place potatoes in a bowl and refrigerate until they are cool, 15 to 20 minutes; this will help keep them fluffy.
- Dust 2 sheet pans with flour and set aside.
- Mix cooled potatoes and 1 1/2 cups flour together on a clean work surface. Knead until dough is soft and smooth, 4 to 5 minutes, adding only enough flour so dough comes together and is not tacky.
- Cut dough into 4 equal parts. Roll 1/4 of the dough into a 3/4-inch log. Cut the log into 3/4-inch pieces. Roll the pieces over a gnocchi board or the back of a fork to create ridges and place onto a floured sheet pan in a single layer. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Let rolled gnocchi dry for 1 hour before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Melt butter for cheese sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and continue to whisk until it thickens, about 3 minutes. Add Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese; stir using a spoon until melted. Stir in sage and nutmeg. Stir in cooked gnocchi and transfer to a casserole or baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CHEESE
This hearty dish served family style, offers a grown-up twist on macaroni and cheese. We like the flavor and melting qualities of fontina or Taleggio cheese, but you can substitute cheddar, Gruyere, or another favorite.

Steps:
- Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Add two-thirds of the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and the pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to buttered dish. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi.
- Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi, and gently toss. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake gnocchi until golden brown, about 25 minutes
Tips:

- Sear the gnocchi before baking: This will give the gnocchi a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the baked gnocchi a more complex flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as sage or thyme, will brighten up the flavor of the baked gnocchi.
- Serve the baked gnocchi immediately: This will ensure that the gnocchi is still crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
