Homemade Gnocchi w/ Sage Oil Recipe:
Yield: 2 Servings
Cook Time: 45 Min
Ingredients:
- 1 Large Russet Potato, Washed & Peeled, Cut into ½ in Cubes
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¾-1 Cup All Purpose or Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Egg, Whisked
- 4-5 Sage Leaves
- 3 oz Olive Oil or Butter
- ½ tsp White Pepper
- ½ tsp Sea Salt
Directions:
1. In a large pot, add potatoes and 1 tsp salt. Fill water to the top of the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
2. Cook potatoes until they are fork tender and drain the water. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Once cooled, add potatoes to a large bowl and add flour. Add eggs and mix with your hands until the dough begins to form into a ball.
4. Cut dough into three equal pieces and form each piece into a long log or snake by rolling it on the counter.
5. Once the “snake” is about ½ in thick, cut dough into ½ in pieces.
6. Take each dough piece and roll it against a gnocchi board or simply use a fork to press and roll each piece into traditional-looking gnocchi.
7. Once you have all the gnocchi’s rolled, heat a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchis to the water. They will begin to float to the top when they have finished cooking.
8. Heat a large skillet over medium heat while the gnocchi are boiling. Add the olive oil or butter and sage leaves.
9. Once the gnocchi are floating, add them to the skillet and saute for a minute or two to coat with the sage oil. Season with salt and white pepper. Serve hot, enjoy!
Tips/Tricks:
- You can freeze any extra gnocchi’s that you have not boiled by placing in a freezer safe bag and tossing them with some extra flour, so they don’t stick.
- Add herbs (cilantro, parsley, rosemary, thyme, fines herbs, etc) to the gnocchi dough if you would like more flavor or to tie them in with another dish you are preparing.
