Method
1.Cook potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Drain. Cool slightly, then peel. Mash until smooth or pass through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Cool completely. Add egg, flour, parmesan and nutmeg. Season well and gently mix until a smooth dough forms.
2.Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into three portions. Roll each portion into a 1.5cm-wide log. Cut into 2.5cm pieces.
3.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil on high heat. Cook peas for 2 minutes, until just tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Bring water back to boil. Cook gnocchi, in two batches, for 1-2 minutes, until gnocchi floats to surface. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain.
4.Melt butter in a large frying pan on medium heat. Cook prawns, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until prawns are opaque and butter starts to turn nut-brown. Add gnocchi, peas and mint and toss for 1 minute, until heated through. Season to taste. Spoon into bowls and serve.
You can make the gnocchi several hours in advance. Place on a tray lined with baking paper and cook just before serving.
