Reader Recipe: Potato Gnocchi
Submitted by: Shelley Jordan
This is a simple recipe with few ingredients, all of which should be in your food storage. The original recipe is from my Taste of Home Cookbook. My kids LOVE this - one likes it with marinara and the other with alfredo. I like it with a little kick so I choose a spicy sauce or add a little red pepper flakes to it along with some veggies. It’s also very filling so don't eat too much!
Potato Gnocchi
1 egg, lightly beaten (or 1 THRIVE Powdered Egg, reconstituted)
3 teaspoons salt, divided
1-3/4 to 2 cups all purpose flour (THRIVE White flour)
3 quarts water
Cook potatoes in boiling water until soft - about 20 minutes for Freeze Dried. Mash. Reserve 2 cups of Mashed Potatoes; save left over for another use. Stir in egg and 2 teaspoons salt. Gradually beat in flour.
Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead 15 times. Roll into 1/2 inch wide ropes. Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces. Press down with a lightly flour fork.
