Quail with Potato Gnocchi

Potato Gnocchi:
Ingredients:
2 Potatoes
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Egg
1 TBS of Water, if needed

Directions:
Peel the potatoes and cut into even cubes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potatoes until tender but still a bit firm. Drain and push them through a ricer.
Combine 1 cup of mashed potato, the flour and egg in a large bowl. Knead until a dough forms and a ball is made. Use 1 TBS of water if needed to help the dough come together. Roll out portions of the dough into a long “snake” type shape. Using a knife cut the “snake” roll into even half inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to a boil and drop the gnocchi in and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the gnocchi have risen to the top. Drain and serve.

Poached Quail:
Ingredients:
4 Whole Quail, Butterflied
4 Cups Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper

Directions:
In a sauté pan add the quail and top with the chicken broth. Simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes. Once the quail is done, remove the quail from the broth, let cool a bit then shred the meat by handling.

To create the dish:
Ingredients:
½ Cup Butter, unsalted
8 Fresh Sage Leaves
