Equipment
Pot
Potato ricer (optional)
Fork
Steamer (optional)
Ingredients
500grOrganic potatoes (the older the better)
Approximately 115 gr Organic all purpose flour(depends on the humidity of your potatoes)
Instructions
First, clean your potatoes very well.
Now you have 2 options: boiling them or steaming them. I prefer the second one.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then place the accessory for steam cooking (I've got this one) on top of the pot and steam until tender.
Peel and chop potatoes, and mash them using a potato ricer or a fork.I don't have a potato ricer, so I always use a fork and mash them thoroughly.DON'T use a food processor or blender.
Put them onto a floured countertop and gradually add flour. Knead with your hands until a dough forms.
Keep adding flour until the dough is soft, not too much sticky. Always make sure the flour is completely absorbed before adding more.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
In the meantime, shape your gnocchi: divide the 'potato dough' into two pieces, roll each one to strands (about 2 cm in diameter).
Cut into 2 cm chunks.
Optional: if you want ridges, roll them over a fork.
Add salt to the boiling water and cook the gnocchi (a batch at a time, not all together): when they float to top, they're ready!
