Potato Gnocchi instructions
- Peel the potatoes and place in a heat proof dish. Cover and microwave for 3-4 minutes. Mash while they're hot. Mix with the flour, egg and salt..
- The amount of flour you will need will depend on the potatoes. Start by adding about 80 g first. If you add too much, the resulting gnocchi will be stiff..
- Mix gently until the dough is about the same consistency as your earlobes. Do not overwork at this point, otherwise the gnocchi will be tough later..
- Form the dough into a ball and divide it in half on a floured (not listed in the ingredients) surface..
- Roll the divided dough into two long sausage shapes and cut them in half. Cut the dough into bite-sized pieces..
- Place a piece of dough onto the back of a fork. Press the piece with your index finger to indent the gnocchi (see the photo). This allows the sauce to stick to it better..
- Cook the gnocchi in plenty of boiling salted water. Once the gnocchi floats up to the surface it is ready (just like making shirotama dumplings)..
- Remove the gnocchi from the boiling water and drain in a colander. Toss in a sauce you like and serve..
- An example of a sauce: Place 200 ml of double cream and 50-100 g of Gorgonzola cheese in a frying pan and melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add some white wine to your taste and some gnocchi. Mix all together and transfer onto a serving dish. Grind black pepper on top..
