You have seen the gnocchi with potato flakes in the Instagram stories a few days ago, while Elisa and I finished preparing them. This is a recipe invented on the spot since Eli asked me to make her gnocchi and (strange but true) I did not have the suitable potatoes at home (if you remember, to make gnocchi I use very floury old potatoes, with yellow paste or better again, red). I was about to fall back on the flour dumplings, when I saw the potato flakes in the pantry, the bag to make instant mashed in practice and I thought: why not? And here I am with the very successful experiment!
We went on the classic and we seasoned them with a light tomato sauce with basil, but of course it is a basic recipe to combine with all your favorite condiments;)
- Doses for 4 people:
- 150 gr of potato flakes (2 bags)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 400 ml of water
- 200-250 gr of 00 flour
- preparation: 30 min
- cooking: 5 min
- total: 35 min + 30 min of rest
How to make gnocchi with potato flakes
Put the potato flakes and salt in a bowl, add hot water and mix.
Then add the flour (start with 200 g, add the rest a little at a time only if necessary to make the dough not sticky) and work until a smooth and elastic dough is obtained.
Cover with a clean cloth and let stand for 30 minutes.
Take back the dough and, a little at a time, divide it into many loaves about 1,5 cm wide.
Then cut the loaves into cylinders of about 2 cm each.
Rigateli passing them quickly on the prongs of a fork, in order to give it the typical appearance of homemade gnocchi.
As they are ready, place them on a floured surface, without putting them together.
Cook in a pot with boiling salted water, drain them with a slotted spoon as they rise to the surface.
Season them to taste.
The gnocchi with potato flakes are ready, you just have to taste them.
