Hey everyone, it’s Jim, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a special dish, potato gnocchi. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Potato Gnocchi is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. Potato Gnocchi is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They are fine and they look fantastic.
To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have potato gnocchi using 6 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Potato Gnocchi:
- Take 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced.
- Prepare 2 cup all-purpose flour (and half a cup for work surface)
- Get 1 egg
- Get 1 tsp salt and pepper ( I'm using pink salt and peppercorn)
- Prepare 1 tsp each: garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley (I'm using a pre-blended mix)
- Prepare 1 water to boil potatoes in
Instructions to make Potato Gnocchi:
- Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork.
- When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a 'well' in the center.
- Add your smashed potatoes in the 'well' you've made, and add your seasonings.
- Start folding the potatoes into the flour, starting with a fork. Once it starts to come together, make another 'well' in the center of the potato-flour pile. Add your egg, (I should've beated it first before adding it) and knead the potato flour into the egg.
- DO NOT OVER-MIX!!! Once the dough comes together, STOP. The dough should be slightly sticky and that is fine. Sprinkle a bit of flour to your work space and roll out the dough into ropes.
- Roll the rope into half-inch thickness. It will double in size when you boil it, so be aware! We're not making dumplings here, bruh!
- I cut my rope in half for easy cutting. Placed my dough ropes side by side, and sliced them into about a quarter of an inch to half-inch slices.
- Some people like to get fancy and make little designs on their gnocchi, like rolling them–individually–with a fork or tool; or even going in and slightly denting each one into "dimples". Honestly, I just want to eat. So, we're having plain pillow-shapes! :)
- If you're weird, like me, you'd go and wash out that same pot you boiled potatoes in, and fill with more water to boil the little gnocchi pillows in. I pieced in a gnocchi at a time, so they don't stick together while they boil.
- Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you're done!
- If you want to save some gnocchi for another day, these guys freeze well. Just lay them in a single layer on a plate, flash-freeze for about half an hour, then remove from the plate and throw them in a zip-lock bag for space-saving.
