Mastering Gluten-free Gnocchi: Pillows Of Potato Perfection
Introduction
Have you ever craved a plate of delicious, pillowy gnocchi but thought you couldn't enjoy them because of a gluten intolerance? Fear not, because in this recipe, I'll show you how to master gluten-free gnocchi that are just as satisfying as the traditional ones. Let's dive into the world of potato perfection!
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- Salt, to taste
- Your favorite gnocchi sauce (such as pesto, marinara, or brown butter with sage)
Instructions
-
Begin by washing and scrubbing the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pierce them with a fork and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about an hour or until they are tender.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before peeling off the skin. Use a potato ricer or masher to mash the potatoes until they are smooth.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, gluten-free flour, egg, and salt. Mix everything together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the gnocchi tough.
-
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the rope into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi. You can use a fork to create ridges on the gnocchi for a traditional look.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate.
-
Serve the gluten-free gnocchi hot with your favorite sauce. Enjoy the pillowy perfection!
