Boil potatoes (with their skins) until mashable. +2. Slice potatoes in two and scoop them out of their skin. +3. Mash with a potato-masher while adding kosher salt. +4. Slowly begin to add flour while mashing and kneading until there are no lumps of potato and the potato/flour mixture takes on a dough-like consistency. +5. Begin to boil more water with lots of kosher salt added. +6. Flour a work surface, pinch off some of the dough and roll it on the surface into a long chubby snake. +7. Slice the dough snake into small pieces. Press the pieces with your finger to make an indentation. +8. Add the pieces to the boiling water. They will rise to the top when they are ready. +9. In a pan, melt butter and add sprigs of sage (oregano or thyme will work as well, albeit are less traditional). Smashed tomato juices are also a nice addition. +10. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan and roast them in butter for a minute or two until slightly browned. As pan begins to dry, add some pasta water. +12. Serve gnocchi on a plate, grate on Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese liberally. Add garnish if desired. |
