Description
A delicious homemade gnocchi recipe made with russet potatoes, egg, and flours.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp rock salt (or coarse sea salt/kosher salt)
- 2 lbs. russet potatoes (unpeeled)
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 cup rice flour (plus more as needed)
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with the coarse salt. Set aside.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Let the potatoes cool slightly.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and pass them through a potato ricer or food mill into a large bowl.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, kosher salt, and nutmeg to the potatoes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, and xanthan gum.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the potatoes, stirring until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tbsp at a time.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a log about 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1-inch pieces.
- Roll each gnocchi piece over the tines of a fork to create a classic ridged shape or shape as desired.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are cooked through.
- Drain the gnocchi and toss them with your favorite sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using Yukon Gold potatoes instead of russet.
- If desired, you can freeze the gnocchi for later use.
