Gnocchi April 2025

This gnocchi recipe is a simplified version of my basic gnocchi recipe.

This way is faster if you are used to making gnocchi.

However making gnocchi can easily go wrong.

So please pay attention to these three points.

(1) Slice mehlig kochend potatoes into rounds of the same thickness.

= don't use waxy potatoes.

(2) Dry boiled potatoes well to weigh them exactly 200g while they are still hot. =Don't rinse them under cold water or weigh potatoes wet)

(3) Don't knead potatoes with flour.

=Kneading will form gluten and the gnocchi will be too firm in texture.
