Gnocchi from Croatia
Description
This is a pretty simple (but laborious) recipe for the classic potato gnocchi, which in Croatia is always served as an accompaniment to the beef stew Pašticada.
Simple Ingredients for a Complex Dish
- 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 2 cup flour (all-purpose)
- salt (to taste)
- parmesan (for garnish)
Instructions
- Steam or bake potatoes for about 25-30 minutes until soft throughout but not overcooked. Test with a toothpick to make sure they are soft.
- While still hot, peel and mash (taking care to not burn yourself).
- Mash to ensure there are no lumps and the potatoes are smooth.
- Make a hole in the middle of the mixture and add butter, beaten egg, and salt.
- Add flour and knead well, adding more flour if needed.
- Take a handful of the dough a little at a time and shape into logs. On a floured surface, roll logs into a long snake or sausage.
- Cut snake into smaller logs to shape gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add gnocchi.
- They are done when they begin to float, about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve with pašticada and grated parmesan.
