The Italian Potato Gnocchi best recipe. Famous throughout the world, potato gnocchi are easy to make and can be served with a wide variety of sauces.
SERVINGS: Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 ½ oz all-purpose flour
- 1 lb potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ oz butter
- 2 oz grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- salt to taste
METHOD:
- Place potatoes in a pot and completely cover with cold salted water, stopping when the water is 1 inch in above the potatoes.
- Bring to a boil and simmer until tender (or when a knife entres easily), about 50 minutes.
- Let cool until they can be handled.
- Peel and put them through a ricer or food mill.
- Combine hot peeled potatoes with flour, egg and salt.
- Turn dough out onto a floured cutting board and cut into 3 portions.
- Gently roll each portion into a long log about 3/4 inch thick.
- Cut each log into 3/4-inch pieces with a floured knife.
- Press a piece of dough against tines of a floured fork, and push with a floured thumb in a forward motion toward end of tines, letting gnocchi fall from fork onto a floured kitchen towel.
- Repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
- The gnocchi should be cooked in salted water, well drained, then dressed with a generous helping of butter and Parmesan cheese.
- Add (to taste) tomato sauce or even better still, fresh cherry tomatoes browned in butter.
NOTES:
Hand-made potato gnocchi cook very quickly: they should be boiled in salted water and removed just as soon as they rise to the top of the pot.
