Nona Hock Lia Pork Cutlets with Potato Gnocchi


Potato Gnocchi


Roll dough into long strips


Ingredients:

800g Potato Mash. I use old brushed potatoes.
1 Egg
3/4 cup gluten-free Plain Flour
1/3 cup Grated Parmesan
Salt and Pepper













Method:

Cut strips into small pieces


Peel and boil potatoes till soft, strain and mash.

When potato mash is still very hot, add all ingredients and knead together well.

If the dough is too wet, you may need more flour.

On the bench, pour some flour, cut the dough and roll it into long strips then cut small size as you like.

Boil a pot of water, cook it until they come to the top, and do not over cook,  
Serves  4-5 people









Tips: 
  • Old brushed potatoes are perfect for this Gnocchi.
  • Add all ingredients together when potato mash still very hot.  
  • Try to roll them as fast as possible.
  • After the strips are cut into small pieces, pour on a little flour so they not stick together.
  • Always cook the Gnocchi whether you are using immediately or not.
  • If your not using  the Gnocchi immediately, place the cooked Gnocchi into ice water, drain, dry, add some olive oil to mix well.
  • Place in cliplock bag or freezer bag and keep in fridge. They have a fridge life of approximately 5 days.
