Steps
1. Bake the potatoes with their skin on a bed of coarse salt at 356°F (180°C) for 1 hour.
2. Scoop out the potato flesh, pass through a sieve, and mix with the egg, flour, starch, and salt. Blend well to achieve a smooth dough, then let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll them out, and cut into small 3cm pieces. Poach the gnocchi in boiling water, cool, and set aside.
4. Blanch the veal sweetbread in boiling salted and vinegared water for 8 minutes. Cool, peel, and cut into 150g portions.
5. Thoroughly wash the chanterelles, then cook them to remove excess water. Drain well and set aside.
6. Lightly flour the veal sweetbreads and pan-fry in foamy butter until golden brown.
7. In butter, sauté the chanterelles with shallot and chives. Pan-fry the gnocchi in butter as well.
8. Arrange the chanterelles and gnocchi at the bottom of the plate, top with the veal sweetbread medallions, season with sea salt flakes and minced chives.
