Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups dehydrated potat flakes
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Italian, Main, Potatoes
Homemade Gnocchi. To import, drag image to your MacGourmet recipe box.
Directions
Mix together the potato flakes and the hot water in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the salt. Add the flour and kneed until combined. It will be crumbly at first, but will form a nice dough after about 1 minute of kneading. Roll into thin ropes (using a bit at a time) and cut each rope into one inch segments. Roll a fork over each one to make prong marks on the gnocchi.
note: I am planning to try using fresh mashed potatoes soon, and will report if it's worth the extra work! Also, I quadrupled the batch and had enough to freeze. So my family of 6 got 2 meals out of 4 batches.
To cook:
Boil a pot of water in a medium sized pot. When the water comes to a boil, add the gnocchi. Stir every few minutes. When gnocchi floats to the top, they are done. Strain and serve with favorite pasta sauce, or add to soups in place of noodles. Yummy!!
