POTATO GNOCCHI
In Rome, Nonna Teresa introduced me to this method, which doesn't use eggs. For restaurant service, when the gnocchi mix is made in advance, eggs are useful, but cooked this fresh you don't need them. She believes the fresher the mix, the lighter the gnocchi, and she's right - you get a very good result with this recipe. It's an amazing gift to be able to make good gnocchi at home. It's quick to cook, very cheap, and total comfort food.

Steps:
- Use potatoes of a fairly even size, as you're going to cook them whole. Cook in a large pan of boiling salted water for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain and leave until cool enough to handle, then remove the skins.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or masher on to a large clean board.
- Sprinkle over the flour, finely grate over half the nutmeg, season well with sea salt and black pepper, then scrunch and push the mixture together with clean hands. Depending on the potatoes, you may need to add a little more flour - use your common sense.
- Knead on a flour-dusted surface for a few minutes until pliable, then divide into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a sausage about 2cm thick.
- Slice into 3cm lengths - this is your basic gnocchi. Now you can gently roll each piece down a butter pat, the back of a fork or a fine grater to add grooves, which will help your sauce to stick, or simply roll into balls.
- Nonna Teresa cooked her gnocchi 2 portions at a time, as it's so quick, and it also means they're less likely to break up. Cook in a pan of boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes - as soon as they come up to the surface they're ready.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and toss with melted butter and finely grated Parmesan, my Hero tomato sauce (or leftover sauce from a stew, which you can see in the picture), then finely grate over a little Parmesan, to serve. I also like to add a little dollop of pesto - homemade or jarred, it's up to you.

Steps:
- Place 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes in a medium bowl. Pour over them 1 cup boiling water and stir to combine. Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, ¾ teaspoon salt. Knead briefly until the mixture is smooth.
- Bring 4 inches of well-salted water to a simmer in a large pot. Have ready 3 tablespoons butter, melted, or extra-virgin olive oil. Roll about 2 tablespoons of the dough into a ¾-inch-thick log. Cut crosswise into ¾-inch pieces. Press each piece against the tines of a fork, rolling it as you do; this will naturally cause the gnocchi to curl slightly, leaving one side indented and the other ridged. Test the gnocchi by dropping a few into the simmering water and cooking until they float, about 2 minutes. They should hold a firm shape and be chewy to the bite. If they are too soft or disintegrate, knead into the dough up to 3 tablespoons more all-purpose flour and a little beaten egg.
- Test again. When the dough is right, roll the rest of the dough into three or four ¾-inch-thick ropes. Cut the ropes into ¾-inch pieces, shape the dough on the fork as directed above, letting them drop onto a lightly floured baking sheet. Bring the water back to a simmer. *Do not let the water reach a full boil. Drop one-third to half of the gnocchi into the pot and simmer, uncovered, until they float, then remove with a slotted spoon or skimmer to a wide bowl. Note: Never drain gnocchi by pouring the contents of the pot into a colander. Drizzle some of the melted butter or olive oil over the gnocchi. Toss to coat. Repeat until all the gnocchi are done.
- Spoon gnocchi into bowls and top as desired.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water; reduce to a rapid simmer and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Lightly dust two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets with flour; set aside. Drain potatoes and peel while still hot with a paring knife (use a thick, dry kitchen towel or pot holder to hold them). Immediately pass potatoes through a ricer onto a work surface. Let cool completely.
- Sprinkle potatoes with flour and 2 teaspoons salt, then top with egg. With your hands, work flour and egg into a dough.
- Knead dough until smooth but not elastic, dusting with flour if it becomes too sticky, 4 minutes. Do not overwork dough.
- Divide dough into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a rope (1/2 inch thick and 24 inches long). Cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Gently roll each dough piece against the back tines of a fork to make ridges, then arrange in a single layer on prepared baking sheets.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In batches, add a few handfuls gnocchi and cook until most have floated to top, 2 minutes. With a wire-mesh spider or a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi immediately to a sauce.

EASY HOMEMADE POTATO GNOCCHI RECIPE BY TASTY
Homemade gnocchi sounds tricky, but the actual process is pretty easy - and well worth the effort. After boiling, peeling, and mashing some potatoes, you'll whisk them with an egg to make the "dough". Then comes the fun, soothing part: put on your favorite playlist or podcast while you knead, cut, and add little indentations to every piece. Once they're done, you simply boil them for 30 seconds and fry up in a decadent butter-sage sauce (or a sauce of your choosing.) Restaurant-level gnocchi accomplished!

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of cool salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce a potato. Drain the potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle but still warm.
- Using a peeler or your fingers, remove the skin from the potatoes. In a medium bowl, mash the potatoes until all lumps are gone. Add the salt and pepper and mix well. Make a well in the center of the potatoes and crack an egg into it. Whisk the eggs briefly. Then, using your hands, gently mix it into the potatoes until evenly distributed.
- Put 1 cups of flour onto a clean surface and turn out the potato dough onto it, keeping the remaining ½ cup close by in case you need it. Working quickly and carefully, knead the dough, only incorporating as much flour as you need along the way until the dough loses stickiness and becomes more solid. Slice the dough into 4 parts. Roll out 1 part into a long rope, about 1 inch wide, cutting in half and working with 1 half at a time if the rope is becoming too long. Slice the rope into ½-inch squares and set aside on a lightly floured surface. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- If desired, place a fork on your work surface and slide each gnocchi square from the base of the fork prongs to the top so they make a decorative shape.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi in batches, stirring gently once or twice to ensure they are not sticking. Boil until they float to the surface; after another 15-30 seconds in the water, remove.
- In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and add the sage. Add the gnocchi and toss until lightly golden.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Set a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. Grate or shred potatoes by hand or in a food processor. Combine with 1/2 cup flour and salt, pepper and eggs. Stir, adding enough flour to make a dough that will barely hold together when shaped with your hands.
- Adjust heat so water simmers steadily. Make walnut-size dumplings with a spoon or your hand, and add to water. Cook for about 3 minutes after they float to surface, then taste one and make sure potato is cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon. (You can wrap or tightly cover and refrigerate these for up to a day at this point.)
- Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat and add garlic. When garlic sizzles and becomes aromatic, about 3 minutes, add tomatoes and raise heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture looks like a sauce, about 10 minutes. Gently add dumplings, and heat through, another 10 minutes or so. Serve hot, topped with cheese if you like.

Steps:
- Pierce the potatoes several times so that moisture can escape during baking. Bake the potatoes in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour until fork tender. Peel the potatoes while they are still hot and press them through a potato ricer. Put the potatoes in a large bowl with salt, baking powder, and egg white. Add the flour a little at a time and mix with your hands until the mixture forms a rough dough. Do not over-work the dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough for 1 or 2 minutes until smooth, adding a little bit more flour, if necessary, to keep it from sticking.
- Break off a piece of the dough and roll it back and forth into a rope, about the thickness of your index finger. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Gently roll each piece down a wooden gnocchi board while pressing a small dimple with your finger. The gnocchi should be slightly curved and marked with ridges. This will allow the pillows to hold sauce when served.
- Boil the gnocchi in batches in plenty of salted water. The gnocchi are done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon, and serve. If not cooking immediately, place the gnocchi in a single layer on a baking pan dusted with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Note: If the gnocchi start to feather and fall apart in boiling water, you need more flour. If the gnocchi don't float after 2 minutes and are hard, you used too much flour.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH QUICK TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY
Once you get the hang of it, gnocchi is one of the easiest pastas to make from scratch at home. We paired it with a quick fresh tomato sauce that uses good quality olive oil to add richness and flavor. Experiment by adding fresh or dried herbs, Parmesan cheese, or even a protein to your sauce for a custom creation.

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle, but still warm.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the tomato sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and sauté until soft, 5-7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, season with salt, and cook until they start to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the water and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cover and cook until the tomatoes have broken down into a sauce, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover until ready to serve.
- Using a peeler or your fingers, remove the skin from the potatoes. Pass the potato flesh through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl. Add the egg and mix until just combined. Slowly incorporate the flour, a little at a time, until the dough starts to form. Be careful not to overwork the dough. If the dough still feels sticky, add a little more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 portions. Roll out 1 portion into a long rope, about 1 inch wide. Cut in half crosswise, then cut each half into 1-inch pieces. Set aside on a lightly floured surface while you repeat with the remaining dough.
- If desired, roll each gnocchi on a fork or gnocchi board to make decorative ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, add the gnocchi, stirring gently once or twice to ensure they are not sticking to the bottom of the pot or each other. Boil until the gnocchi float to the surface, then wait another 15-30 seconds and remove from the water with a slotted spoon. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water.
- Reheat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Add some of the reserved pasta water and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and add salt if needed. Add the gnocchi to the sauce and toss until well coated, adding more pasta water as needed to create a thick sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel the potatoes and chop into equal-sized chunks. Lay a large sheet of kitchen foil on your work surface, pile the potatoes into the middle and arrange the bay leaves on top, if using. Fold the foil over the potatoes, then fold the edges in to seal and create a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until the potatoes are tender. Or, tip into a heatproof bowl, cover (do not use foil) and cook in the microwave for 10 mins on high. If still firm, microwave in 5-min bursts until tender. While the potatoes are still hot, pass them through a ricer or push through a sieve onto a tray and cool completely. Will keep chilled for up to two days before using.
- Scatter the flour, 10g of cheese, ½ tsp salt and a grating of nutmeg over the potatoes on the tray, then gently tip the egg yolks on top. Gently bring everything together with your hands until you have a uniform dough that resembles crumbly pastry. Knead for about a minute until it just comes together, but don't overwork it. Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each one out into a long, finger-thick sausage on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sausage into 1.5-2cm nuggets. The gnocchi can now be cooked, or you can create ridges on them by rolling them over the back of a fork, grater or sushi mat. Arrange the gnocchi in a single layer on the tray. Will keep frozen for up to three months. First, freeze on the tray until solid, then portion into food bags.
- Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. If cooking all the gnocchi at once, you'll need to do this in three batches, cooking each batch for 2 mins, or until they rise to the surface. (You can also cook them for 3-5 mins from frozen.) Remove to a colander using a slotted spoon. Reserve 150ml of the cooking water, discarding the rest. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat with about ½ tsp cracked black pepper and sizzle until the butter turns a nutty brown. Toss through the gnocchi, remaining cheese and about half of the reserved cooking water, then turn up the heat slightly and toss until the gnocchi is well-coated in a thick, cheesy sauce. You may need to add a little more of the cooking water to loosen. Serve the gnocchi straightaway in warm bowls.
