Gordon Ramsay Gnocchi Recipe Thefoodxp

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then prick each potato all over with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

2. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle but still warm, peel off the skins using a knife or a potato peeler.

3. In a large mixing bowl, use a potato ricer to rice the potatoes into a fine texture. If you don't have a ricer, mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher until no lumps remain.

4. Create a well in the center of the riced potatoes and add the beaten egg and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour into the potato mixture, working quickly but gently until the dough comes together.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

6. Divide the dough into smaller sections and roll each section into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and shape each piece with the back of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges.

7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, drop the gnocchi into the boiling water without overcrowding. Cook until the gnocchi float to the top, about 2-3 minutes.

8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked gnocchi from the water and transfer to a plate. Continue cooking remaining gnocchi in batches.

9. Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
