Gnocchi Recipe
_full.jpg "Gnocchi")
Ingredients
- 2 pounds whole Russet potatoes (peeled and quartered)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (have some extra for dusting)
- Kosher salt (for boiling water)
Directions
- Fill a large pot with cold water with salt.
- Cut the potatoes in half and place them in the pot.
- Let the water boil, cook the potatoes until tender (you can steam the potatoes as well)
- Once cooked, romove them from the water with a slotted spoon and let it cool enough for you to peel them.
- You can push the potatoes through a ricer or mash them with fork without noticable lumps.
- Mix the potato mix into the flour and mix them together, adding half the flour into it and kneading until you get a sticky mass. Add the rest of the flour gradually while kneading until you get a smooth dough to your liking.
- Cut the dough into smaller parts and roll each piece into a long cylinder about ½ inch in diameter; then cut each cylinder into individual pieces about ¾ inch in length.
- Shape each gnocchi by pressing each piece between your thumb and the lines of a fork, using a slight rolling motion. One side of the gnocchi should have the imprint of the fork and the other side a small indentation from your thumb.
- As water comes to a boil, drop the gnocchi into the water one at a time. In about two minutes, the gnocchi will float to the surface, let them cook about fifteen seconds more and then skim them out with a slotted spoon.
- Drain each gnocchi well and serve immediately topped with your basic tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese, or with any of your choice pasta sauces.
