Takes a while but well worth the effort, nothing beats great home made gnocchi, I feel feature some sauces in following posts you can use.
This one is with a tomato sauce I will post later
Ingredients (Makes enough for about 4 people with some leftovers)
1 - Cut a shallow cross incision into the potatoes.
2 - Bake at 170 degrees for 1hour and half or until tender and soft.
3 - Peel potatoes after they have cooled a little.
4 - Using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes, I seemed to have misplaced mine on the day and used a grater instead, essentially you dont want large whole bit as it will lead to lumpy chunks inside the gnocchi.
5 - Make a whole in the centre of potato.
6 - pour the flour around the potatoes and crack egg in centre.
7 - Work and kneed the mix until properly mixed, use extra flour if needed.
8 - Using flour to avoid stickiness, roll out logs of the dough onto a board.
9 - Using a spatula or similar, cut along 1 inch pieces.
10 - Place on baking paper to avoid stickiness.
11 - In a boiling pot of water, place the gnocchi.
12 - When the gnocchi pieces rise to the top, that is when you know when they are ready.
13 - Allow to drain and you are ready to add to your favourite sauces.
