Preparation

Step 1
Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Simmer over medium heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Cool slightly, peel and pass through a ricer into a large bowl. Stir in the spinach, egg, ricotta, flour, salt and pepper. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Set aside.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a gratin dish with the oil. Shape the dough into small dumplings, place in the dish and add the chicken broth. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake uncovered, until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
