\nWhen potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out insides. Discard skins. Run potatoes through a ricer or mash well with a fork.
\nIn a large bowl, combine riced potatoes, ricotta, maple, salt, paprika, pepper, nutmeg, and egg until smooth. Fold in whole wheat flour and gradually add all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms, \u00bc cup at a time. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, up to overnight.
\nDivide dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a long rope, about \u00bd\u201d in diameter. Cut ropes into 1\u201d pieces and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. If desired, roll gnocchi along the tines of a fork to create ridges.
\nIn a pot of boiling salted water, cook gnocchi in batches until it floats to the top, 2 to 3 minutes.
\nMeanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon pieces to a plate and keep 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
\nAdd butter and cooked gnocchi to skillet and fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer gnocchi to a plate.
\nAdd maple, bourbon, and smoked paprika to skillet and cook until saucy, about 2 minutes. Toss cooked gnocchi in the sauce to coat evenly.
\nGarnish with Parmesan, more paprika, and herbs if desired before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
