Homemade Gnocchi #seasonsupply
I have an abundance of potatoes from #seasonsupply, all very local and fresh. I have always wanted to make my own gnocchi (it looks a lot less intimidating than making pasta) so here is how it’s made! Quite messy to make so not many photo’s.
Ingredients
-
4-5 medium sized potatoes
-
1 tbsp salt
-
2-3 cups flour
-
1 tsp salt
-
Olive oil
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Wash the potatoes and preheat the oven to 200c
-
2
Cover the base of baking tray with salt and toss the whole potatoes in the salt. Bake in the oven for 1 hour

3
Leave to cool until they are not too hot to touch. Cut each potato in half and scoop out the soft flesh. Mash with a fork until there are no big lumps.

Cover your work surface in flour and tip the mashed potato onto it. Flatten into a square and sprinkle flour. Knead it, add flour, knead it and keep going until the dough comes together. It’s best to use as little flour as possible but I think I ended up using 2 cups. At this point put large pan of water on to boil.

Break off an egg size amount of the dough and roll into a sausage. Use a sharp knife and cut into little pillows. Place on a flour dusted tray. Keep going until you have used all the dough (this is my first time so lots of different sizes!)

6
Press the back of a fork into each one- this creates a ridge to catch the sauce 😋

Carefully place all the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook for approx 1-2 minutes, until they rise to the top.

Drain in a colander, rinse in cold water then toss in olive oil to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together.
