Gnocchi
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
Salt, to taste
Boil the Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes with their skins on. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour. They're ready when a fork goes in easily.
Cool and Peel: Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly, then peel them. The skin should come off easily.
Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the peeled potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free.
Add Flour and Egg: Make a well in the center of the mashed potatoes and add the flour, egg, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix everything together until it forms a dough. Be careful not to overwork it; just mix until it comes together.
Roll the Dough: On a floured surface, take a portion of the dough and roll it into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut into Pieces: Use a knife to cut the rope into bite-sized pieces. You can leave them as is or create ridges by rolling them over the tines of a fork.
Boil the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. They're ready when they float to the surface, usually in about 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and serve them with your favorite sauce. Enjoy your homemade potato gnocchi!
Feel free to add your own twist to the sauce or toppings based on your passion for cooking. Enjoy! 😊
