In a beautiful house of a friend of mine, Dominico.
And I’m going to show you
how to make the perfect one
“gnocchi di patate”.
To begin
Do you need fantastic potatoes?
What I recommend is a beautiful Mary Piper potato or a King Edward
a very good one.
You need one kilogram of potatoes.
When I open them .. Look
The peel goes off like this.
And they already see ..
In my hands.
They are ready.
When you cook potatoes
Then put them in cold water, a lot of water.
Bring to the boil and cook for about
fifteen to twenty minutes
About this is the size of the potato. If you have something bigger ..
if you just cook them for ten minutes extra, then they are good too.
I advise you to invest in a good potato press.
Do not blew it, or do not use a fork.
You wait until they have cooled down a bit. When they have cooled down you remove the skin.
she does in the potato press ..
Look!
And with a few strong hands it comes out nicely.
I’m going through this.
Yes! Yes!
This is as I want it.
Until they ..
all are ready.
There we go again. Ready.
You have one kilo of nice potatoes. Look.
Here they are all.
It’s dry
not wet.
And silky soft.
Do not try to knead it too much, do not try to work too much.
Because the more you work it, the more water goes out.
This section is easy.
Use salt, okay?
Make sure you can also see the salt that you use.
Salt flakes are fantastic. Rub them between your hands, look.
Look.
Pepper, look how it falls down.
Just a little bit. Well, I have to do something with it.
Why I do that ..
is because the egg yolk ties everything
and keeps everything together
For one kilo
potatoes
I use two egg yolks.
Let it run between your fingers.
Egg yolk in it.
From two eggs.
The flower is also very important.
Do not use too much flour.
I need a hundred grams
of “double zero” flower.
Make sure you use “double zero”.
“double zero” is extra fine.
Hundreds of fifty grams, just have a look ..
Everything in it.
So easy.
Here you can see that I also use rice flour.
But I do not use rice flour to mix through, only to roll it out.
That also dries the potato a bit.
Mix it. Always use your hands if they are clean. Look at how I do it.
Make sure
that all the egg, everything is recorded.
But do not edit it too much.
You can see this on this board
Everything is included, it is dry.
And it is not bad if you can see the egg a little bit.
We still have to
unroll.
A little bit of rice flour.
Roll it over it.
And you see how beautiful it gets, look!
It stays together. I was my hands for a moment.
It is very important that you are after making the gnocchi
clean your hands. Fantastic, that’s done.
Look.
You can see how beautiful it is. That little bit of rice flour makes that happen
the cutting board remains nicely dry.
Now grab a knife
and cut off a piece.
I’m going to cut this further. Look.
You can
see all the egg inside
a little pepper, and you can see the potato.
Roll it gently.
You can see that it all stays together during rolling.
A little bit
rice flour
on top.
Cut it through.
Put them side by side. Grab a knife ..
And you have perfect gnocchi ready to cook. And if you like them
do not want to be in this form ..
If you want to get them around, you can pick one ..
put him between your hands and roll him.
Then you get nice round gnocchi.
If you want it a bit different
get a fork
and press him up, look.
If you like
want to do a little different, take one in your handem
press your finger and roll it between your fingers.
And then you make it again. With a small slit here
and also the small lines
on the other side.
But .. come on!
This is good enough.
