Ingredients at a glance:
– 6 large Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
– 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
– 1 Tablespoon Salt
– 3 cups Flour
– Pot of salt water, brought to a boil
Instructions:
1. Peel and quarter 6 large russet potatoes
2. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pole holes in the cover and microwave on the “potato” setting (about 20 minutes)
3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, pulverize them either with a potato ricer or grater
4. To the bowl with the grated potatoes add
👉1 tablespoon olive oil
👉1 tablespoon salt
👉3 cups flour
5. Mix well and knead into a dough. If dough is falling apart add more flour, if it seems to dry add a bit of water. Keep kneading until a large dough ball forms.
6. Divide into sections and roll each into a long snake. Cut the thin snake into small 1/2 inch pieces and (optional) roll each cut piece over the back of a fork to create a line pattern (this is intended to create ridges that catch sauce)
7. Set all the prepared, raw gnocchi on a towel sprinkled with flour until you are ready to boil
(At this point they can be frozen and stored)
8. Drop the gnocchi into a pot of salted water and allow them to cook until they bob up to the surface, this takes about 3 minutes
9. Remove the gnocchi from the water with a slotted spoon and mix with your favorite sauce, or (as shown) just garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper!
ENJOY!!
