Description
"I'll have the gnoschis!" The Italian waiter looks a little puzzled until he realises that the guest wants to order "NJOKI". The pronunciation is already a bit of a challenge. Making the little potato dumplings yourself, on the other hand, is not. The basic recipe only requires a few ingredients and a few steps. They are quickly made and ready to be turned into delicious dishes of Italian cuisine.

For the dough

1 kg potatoes, waxy
480 g wheat flour
120 g durum wheat semolina
2 Teaspoon(s) salt
0.5 Teaspoon(s) nutmeg, ground
herbs, spices,... to taste (optional)

Preparation

  • Total time: 1 h 30 min

Prepare the gnocchis

1
Boil the potatoes in their skins in sufficiently salted water.

After cooking, allow the potatoes to steam briefly, peel and mash while still warm.
3
Add the flour, semolina, salt and nutmeg (and any other ingredients such as herbs or similar) and knead everything into a smooth dough.
4
Form the potato dough into a roll about the thickness of a finger and cut it into pieces about 2-3 cm long.
5
Carefully unroll each piece and, if necessary, press in the typical pattern with the back of a fork.
6
The finished gnocchi can now be boiled in salted water or fried in a pan with a little fat.
