Simply Gnocchi 5fix Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add potatoes and 1 2/3 cup flour. Stir until well combined and dough forms. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes until chilled.
• Bring 2 quarts water to boil in a four quart pot.
• Use remaining flour to dust work surface. Transfer dough to surface, knead briefly adding flour if sticky.
• Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into logs 1/2" thick. Cut each log into 1/2" wide pieces and press tops with fork to flatten slightly.
• Cook in two batches, add gnocchi and cook 5 minutes until tender and floating to top of water.
• Remove with slotted spoon to clean bowl. Add pesto and 1/4 cup cheese, toss with spoon until gnocchi is covered lightly.
• Divide into equal portions into serving bowls, top with remaining cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove and set up a large ice bath near the pot.
• Place the mashed potatoes on a clean surface and make a well in the center of the potatoes. Distribute the flour evenly over the potatoes.
• Crack the egg into the well, and beat with a fork. The egg will slowly start to pull the flour and potato mixture into the center. Continue beating until the egg is no longer separate from the flour and potato mixture.
• Roll entire mixture into a ball and knead for 4 - 5 minutes until dry. Use additional flour sparingly if mixture remains too moist.
• Separate dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a long rope about 3/4" in diameter. Cut each rope into 1" segments and pinch each segment slightly for texture.
• Once all gnocchi are formed, place in batches into the boiling water. Cook until gnocchi float to the surface, about 1 minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in the ice bath. Continue until all gnocchi are cooked and placed in ice bath.
• In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Allow to sit until milk solids separate to bottom of pan and begin to turn brown. Immediately turn off heat and add sage and gnocchi. Toss until gnocchi are thoroughly coated with butter and sage mixture. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, whip mashed potatoes, eggs and 2 ½ tablespoons of pesto sauce in a large bowl until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
• Add ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese and mix well. Gradually fold in flour.
• Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat slightly. Working with about 1 tablespoon at a time, drop a few gnocchi into salted water and cook for a few minutes, until they rise to the surface.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a strainer to remove excess water. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
• Serve warm topped with remaining pesto sauce and crumble feta cheese.

Steps:

• Mix the egg and the Simply Potatoes Traditional Mashed Potatoes in a large bowl. Slowly add in the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add another spoon or two of flour.
• Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each out into a long strand about ½ inch in diameter. Cut each strand into 1 - 1 ¼ inch pieces. Gently press down on each little dumpling with the times of a fork to create ridges.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the gnocchi in two or three batches, scooping them out to a colander as they rise to the top after one or two minutes. Reserve a few spoons of the cooking water.
• Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and cook until the butter starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sage and a few tablespoons of the gnocchi cooking water. Add the gnocchi and toss in the butter sauce for a minute. Serve and enjoy! Pass some fresh parmesan at the table if desired.

Steps:

• Pull the potatoes into a soft mound and press with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Mash lightly and then drizzle with the beaten egg and sprinkle 3/4 cup of the flour across the top. I've found that a large pastry scraper is a great utensil to use to incorporate the flour and eggs into the potatoes with the egg incorporated throughout - you can see the hint of yellow from the yolk. Scrape underneath and fold, scrape and fold until the mixture is a light crumble.
• Very gently, with a feathery touch knead the dough. This is also the point you can add more flour (a sprinkle at a time) if the dough is too tacky. I usually end up using most of the remaining 1/4 cup flour, but it all depends on the potatoes, the flour, the time of year, the weather, and whether the gnocchi gods are smiling on you. The dough should be moist but not sticky. It should feel almost billowy. Form the dough into a ball and allow to rest under a clean, damp dishcloth for 10-15 minutes. Cut it into 8 pieces. Now gently roll each 1/8th of dough into a snake-shaped log, roughly the thickness of your thumb. Use a knife to cut pieces every 3/4-inch Dust with a bit more flour.
• To shape the gnocchi hold a fork in one hand and place a gnocchi pillow against the tines of the fork, cut ends out. With confidence and an assertive (but light) touch, use your thumb and press in and down the length of the fork. The gnocchi should curl into a slight "C" shape, their backs will capture the impression of the tines as tiny ridges. Set each gnocchi aside, dust with a bit more flour if needed, until you are ready to boil them.
• Now that you are on the final stretch, heat your salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the gnocchi by dropping them into the boiling water. They will let you know when they are cooked because they will pop back up to the top. (about 40 to 50 seconds) Fish them out of the water a few at a time with a slotted spoon ten seconds or so after they've surfaced. Have a platter ready and gently toss with a drizzle of good garlic infused olive oil on top.
