Leftover Mashed Potato Gnocchi
Description
This gnocchi recipe starts by mixing leftover mashed potatoes with whisked egg and gradually adding flour to achieve a dough that is soft but not sticky. The dough is gently handled to avoid toughening. It is divided into portions, rolled into logs about an inch thick, then cut into pieces and shaped with a fork or gnocchi board to create ridges that hold sauce. Cooking involves boiling the gnocchi in water until they rise to the surface, indicating doneness. The dough consistency may vary depending on the moisture in the mashed potatoes, so flour quantity is adjusted accordingly, making the process hands-on and intuitive.
These gnocchi offer an effective way to use leftover mashed potatoes, creating small pillows of tender dough with a mild potato flavor. They can be served with various sauces or toppings typical for pasta dishes.
Ingredients
- 330 g potato mashed
- 130 g plain flour
- 1 egg whisked
Instructions
- Put the mashed potato and egg in a bowl and add half the flour. Use a wooden spoon and gently mix together. Add a little more flour at a time until you get the right consistency and then use your hands to mix it together.
- Cut the dough in to 4 pieces and then put each piece on a floured board and using your hands, roll it out to about 1 inch thickness.
- Cut the roll in to 1 inch width pieces.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Using a fork or gnocchi board, pattern the individual gnocchi.
Notes
- Flour amount depends on mashed potato moisture; adjust gradually for a dough that is light and slightly stretchy but not sticky.
- Mix ingredients gently to prevent dense, tough gnocchi.
- Boil gnocchi until they rise to the water's surface; this signals they are cooked through.
