Potato Gnocchi

Potato Gnocchi

Kimchi: Chef John shows how to make potato gnocchi with one potato. I love this! I’m a big fan of gnocchi because of it’s doughy center. Honestly, I failed pretty badly at the recipe because I couldn’t tell how much flour to add, so I ended up not adding enough and after I had cut & indented ALL of the dough pieces, they ended up being one big lump stuck together. So I had to roll them together and do it AGAIN after adding more flour. *facepalm* Next time, I know to keep adding enough flour to keep it sticky, or at least dust the individual pieces of flour before throwing them together in a bowl.

The taste, though, is great. It’s a fairly quick recipe for such great results if you microwave the potato & don’t mess up like me. For the sauce, I went with about half olive oil, half butter, and a few cloves of mashed garlic. For like 2 cups of flour you would use like 1/2 a stick of butter, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 5 garlic cloves. I grated some peppercorn cheese over it too. This would taste great with shrimp added!
