How to make gnocchi

In a pan of boiling water boil the potatoes with skin until soft.

When the potatoes are soft, drain them and peal them using a tea towel to hold the hot potato and cut them into medium pieces.

Pass them through a potato ricer until smooth and have a mash consistency. We recommend using a potato ricer as with normal potato mashers large pieces are always left and this is not good for the consistency of the gnocchi.

Add the flour little by little mixing every time.

After adding all the flour and have mixed it well the dough should have a pliable consistency which will allow you to work it with your hands.

Work the dough with your hands gently for about 10 minutes until it has a uniform appearance.

Take small balls of dough and stretch them until creating a long strip.

Cut small pieces of aprox 2 cm long from the strip.

Repeat procedure with all the dough.

Put small pieces in a tray will flour on it so pieces don’t stick.

After doing all the dough take a pan with boiling water and salt and place gnocchi.

Let gnocchi cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface of the pan.

Take gnocchi out and mix them with your favourite sauce and serve!
