Ingredients
- {'group': 'Main', 'item': '1kg russet potatoes'}
- {'group': 'Main', 'item': '1 large egg, whisked'}
- {'group': 'Main', 'item': '300g unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting'}
- {'group': 'Seasoning', 'item': '6g fine sea salt'}
Preparation
- Peel and boil the russet potatoes until fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
- Drain and let them cool slightly before discarding the skins.
- Pass the potatoes through a ricer or mash until smooth.
- Allow them to cool completely before mixing in the whisked egg.
Cooking
- In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Gradually incorporate half of this mixture into the potato and egg blend.
- Once partially combined, add the remaining flour mixture.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 5 or 6 pieces, rolling each into a 1.25cm thick cylinder.
- Cut into 2.5cm segments.
- For ridged gnocchi, roll each piece over a fork or gnocchi board.
- Boil in salted water until they float, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Plating & Serving
- Serve the gnocchi immediately with your choice of sauce, such as pesto or tomato sauce.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Ensure the potatoes are completely cool before adding the egg to prevent cooking it. For best results, use a potato ricer for a smooth texture.
