Potato spinach gnocchi
A great way to hide some greens, these potato spinach gnocchi go well with so many different sauces as well.

Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes
- 4 ½ oz spinach weight after any stems have been removed
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour plain flour
- 1 dash nutmeg
- salt and papper
- ¼ cup parmesan finely grated, loosely packed
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese optional
Instructions
- Peel and boil the potatoes until tender.
- Place spinach in a bowl, pour over the water from the potatoes and leave for a couple minutes to wilt.
- Drain both the potatoes and spinach. Place spinach in a dish towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Roughly chop the spinach and add to the potatoes. Blend both together - this can be easier after giving the potatoes a bit of a mash first.
- Allow the potato-spinach mixture to cool then add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Flour a work surface and your hands.
- Take large spoonfuls of the mixture and roll out into a log then cut off chunks and roll into balls.
- Bring a shallow pan of water to the boil. Add a few gnocchi at a time to the water, keeping it boiling.
- When the gnocchi rise to the top, remove with a slotted spoon to an oiled bowl and repeat.
- Serve with pesto, or simply olive oil and topped with parmesan.

Notes
- I'd recommend cooking these in a wide, shallow pan such as Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 5-½-Quart Saute Pan or Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Round Braiser.
