Ingredients
- 1 lb. Russet potatoes 2-3 medium-sized, unpeeled and washed
- 1 cup 135 grams gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour*
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large egg beaten (or favorite egg sub like aquafaba)
Instructions
- To make the gluten free potato gnocchi, boil or microwave the washed potatoes (if microwaving, pierce potatoes with a fork in several places) until fork tender – approximately 20 minutes for boiling, 8 minutes for microwaving, depending on the power of your microwave. Set aside to cool until you can hold them to peel.
- Once cooled, place peeled potatoes in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher until there are no remaining lumps. Shake ¼ cup gfJules Flour over top of the potatoes, along with the salt. Squish together with your hands until incorporated with the potatoes. Repeat by the ¼ cup full, incorporating until the full cup is added. (This process can be done in a food processor or using a stand mixer with paddle attachment)
- Form the potato mixture into a mound and make a well in the center. Pour the oil and beaten egg into the well and knead together until fully incorporated into the potato/flour mixture. It should no longer be wet, but will hold together if you squeeze a handful together. If it is too wet, add more gfJules Flour by the tablespoon; if it is too dry, add a touch of milk (dairy or non-dairy).
- Flour a clean surface or baking mat with gfJules Flour. Pat the potato mixture out to approximately ½ inch thickness and cut into strips approximately ½ inch wide.
- Cut each strip into ½ inch pieces. Take each piece and round the edges with the tines of a fork, forming tubular pieces like miniature barrels.
- Place each piece of formed gnocchi onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and when finished forming the pasta pieces, cover with a cloth and refrigerate until ready to boil or boil right away.
- Bring a 6 quart pot of water to boil in preparation for the gnocchi.
- Place the gnocchi individually into the boiling water, boiling only enough to cover the bottom of the pot. Boil for 5 minutes; they should float to the surface before removing. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your preferred gluten free sauce.
Notes
If using other types of potatoes like sweet potatoes, they will need extra gfJules Flour. Sweet potatoes require approximately 1 ½ cups gfJules™ Flour; purple potatoes need extra ½ cup gfJules™ Flour.
