Gnocchi Recipe

Light and fluffy potato pillows, also known as Gnocchi await your favorite sauce!
Everyone always makes Gnocchi out to be something hard to make. It’s not hard, just time consuming. You can’t really stop the process once you’ve started. You just can’t. After you boil or bake your potatoes, you must finish and see the process out. It’s really not hard at all, I promise… so totally worth it in the end too!

Description

A light and fluffy potato pillow waiting for your favorite sauce whether a cheese or tomato based.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Famous Idaho Potatoes
  • 3 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes (washed, whole and with peels) in a large pot and cover with salted water.
  • Bring to a boil, simmer and cook until tender (easily pierced with a fork or knife) about 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from water. When cool enough to handle (I place in a towel so I can handle them very quickly), peel and place in a rice or food mill.
  • Combine all ingredients, mixing just until combined. Dough will be a little tacky, but that’s okay it’ll come out of it when you dump onto floured surface.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a roughly 12-inch log.
  • Cut into three equal portions.
  • Gently roll each portion into a long log about 3/4-inch thick. Cut each log into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces.
  • Now you may use a knife to roll the gnocchi on or use a gnocchi board or leave as is.
  • Place dough on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet covered in plastic wrap for up to one day OR place in a large pot of boiling salt water to cook just until floating about 2 minutes each.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce!

Notes

  • *The quicker you’re able to peel and place in ricer the easier it is to turn**
  • **I mix all ingredients together in my KitchenAid, but you can mix in a bowl by hand**
