Chef Johns Potato Gnocchi

When I found one lone russet potato at the bottom of the bin, I decided to make a small batch of gnocchi–the perfect thing to do with one potato. I like a very potato-y gnocchi, so I go with just enough flour to form the dough. Other people prefer a denser, more pasta-like dumpling, and use much more flour. I know many of you hate it when I say this, but you’ll just have to figure it out as you go.

Step: 1

Place potato in microwave and cook on high setting until cooked through, about 7 minutes depending on the size of the potato.

Step: 2

Split potato and remove flesh. Push flesh through strainer using the back of a wooden spoon in order to achieve a granular texture. Add a pinch of salt and let cool for about 10 minutes. Pour in beaten egg and stir, using the tines of a fork and trying not to mash the potato. Add about 1/3 cup flour and continue gently stirring gently with the tines of a fork until mixture starts to come together. You may need another pinch or two of flour. Fold mixture with a spatula until dough forms a mass, adding flour as needed. Using your fingers, knead dough gently to form ball, about 10 seconds.

Step: 3

Shape dough into a fat log shape on a floured surface. Cut into 4 pieces. Gently roll each piece using your fingertips to form the “snake” or a long rope of dough, starting from the center and rolling toward the end until dough is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut each rope of dough into 1/2-inch pieces.

Step: 4

Roll each 1/2-inch piece quickly down the back of a fork’s tines to form ridges.

Step: 5

Heat sauce in a skillet while you cook the gnocchi.

Step: 6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce heat so water continues to simmer. Add gnocchi to water. As soon as they float to the surface after half a minute or so, cook for an additional 14 seconds. Transfer cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the pan with the sauce. Stir until coated.

Step: 7

Serve topped with grated cheese.

To much possesion yourself can lead to lot of eat , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really wanted the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong kinds of food will make lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an eat bad food late-night snack even closer to bedtime .
