My parents took their first trip to Europe a couple of years ago, spending a week in the Tuscany region of Italy. They both came back inspired by the Italian food they enjoyed and, as a result, started to make many of the Italian dishes they had while in Italy. When I found one lone russet potato at the bottom of the bin, I decided to make a small batch of gnocchi–the perfect thing to do with one potato. I like a very potato-y gnocchi, so I go with just enough flour to form the dough.
Steps to make Potato Gnocchi:
- 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.
Other people prefer a denser, more pasta-like dumpling, and use much more flour. Gnocchi's plump, pillowy texture and mild, delicate flavor make them perfect for rich, hearty sauces like Pan-Seard Gnocchi with Browned Butter & Sage, Gnocchi with Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce, and Gnocchi with Sausage & Leek Ragù. In general, meat sauces are a fantastic match, but butter and cream-based sauces work well, too. In Italy, gnocchi are usually served after appetizers (antipasti) as.
