recipe with pictures: how to make  potato dumplings without wheat flour (gnocchi di patate)

Back to the ingredients table

PREPARATION: step-by-step photographed recipe

boil the potatoes, better if red, but also the standard can go

pay attention: should they break the peel while cooking, do not use them, as they have water inside

for a good result you should knead the potatoes gently, without pushing, as the lightness is a plus for the dumpling
in a bow mix cornstarch and potato flour, and add to the potatoes until well mixed, but only one tablespoon  at time: if the potatoes are of good quality, well boiled and you will knead gently it will take few time
knead the dough quickly, with your hands floured, until the dough will be not sticky
always pressing gently make small rolls, rolling on the counter, floured with potato flour and cornstarch
cut the dumplings
very gently roll . You see in the picture the tool called "arricciagnocchi" (dumplings curler), for making the typical strips, useful for taking well the sauce
...but you can also use a fork as shown in the picture
as soon as ready put on a towel, paying attention not to lay  one over an other

they can wait also some hours but the sooner you eat the better, as the dough should not dry
