HOME MADE GNOCCHI FROM SCRATCH

Takes a while but well worth the effort, nothing beats great home made gnocchi, I feel feature some sauces in following posts you can use.

This one is with a tomato sauce I will post later

Ingredients (Makes enough for about 4 people with some leftovers)

• 2.5 kg of mashable potatoes
• 900g flour (essentially 10:4 ratio, potatoes to flour)
• 1 egg
• heavy pinch of salt

1 - Cut a shallow cross incision into the potatoes.
2 - Bake at 170 degrees for 1hour and half or until tender and soft.

3 - Peel potatoes after they have cooled a little.

4 - Using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes, I seemed to have misplaced mine on the day and used a grater instead, essentially you dont want large whole bit as it will lead to lumpy chunks inside the gnocchi.

5 - Make a whole in the centre of potato.
6 - pour the flour around the potatoes and crack egg in centre.

7 - Work and kneed the mix until properly mixed, use extra flour if needed.

8 - Using flour to avoid stickiness, roll out logs of the dough onto a board.

9 - Using a spatula or similar, cut along 1 inch pieces.

10 - Place on baking paper to avoid stickiness.
11 - In a boiling pot of water, place the gnocchi.
12 - When the gnocchi pieces rise to the top, that is when you know when they are ready.

13 - Allow to drain and you are ready to add to your favourite sauces.
