Hand Made Gnocchi Recipe

Gnocchi Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Potatoes

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Dough

   Peel the warm potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Add the egg and salt, mixing until combined. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms. You may not need all the flour.

3. 3

   Shape the Gnocchi

   Divide the dough into sections and roll each section into a rope about ½ inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, you can use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

4. 4

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain.

5. 5

   Finish with Truffle and Chives

   In a skillet, heat the truffle oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
