Practical Tips for Perfect Gnocchi Every Time
Making homemade gnocchi might seem intimidating, but with the right tips, it becomes a true pleasure. Here are some key tips I share in my eBook, delivered here as an exclusive preview:
- Choose the right potatoes: Opt for starchy varieties like Russet or Bintje for a light and tender dough.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil them and peel while still hot to prevent excess moisture absorption.
- Flour dosage: Add flour gradually, just enough to form a soft but not sticky dough. Too much flour makes gnocchi tough.
- Shaping the gnocchi: Roll the dough into logs, then cut into small pieces and shape with a fork or gnocchi board to get the traditional ridges.
- Cooking: Drop the gnocchi into salted boiling water and remove them as soon as they float to the surface to keep them tender.
Following these tips ensures gnocchi worthy of the best Italian trattorias. My eBook guides you step-by-step with photos and insider tricks, turning this preparation into a convivial and delicious moment.
