How to make potato gnocchi at home
If you're looking for an easy and delicious Italian recipe to cook at home, potato gnocchi are sure to be a success. Here are the step-by-step instructions to make them from scratch.
If you're a pasta enthusiast but haven't yet ventured beyond store-bought spaghetti or macaroni, this recipe for making gnocchi at home from scratch is a perfect chance for you to enjoy one of the most delicious dishes in Italian cuisine.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of potatoes
- 2 egg yolks
- 200 grams of strong (high-gluten) flour
Tips when making gnocchi for the first time:
- It is important to cook them immediately, as soon as the dough is ready.
- You can steam the potatoes instead of boiling them. That way you ensure they won't absorb too much water. Otherwise, you will have to add more flour afterwards to prevent them sticking to your hands, which can be a bit tricky if this is your first time.
- If you want to freeze gnocchi, it’s best to do so when they are raw.
- You can start by boiling a single (practice) gnoccho to get an idea of the right timing.
What sauce can we accompany them with?
- Homemade pesto with pomegranate seeds
- Butter and sage
- Parmesan and olive oil
- Fresh basil
