HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE GNOCCHI



Homemade Gluten-Free Gnocchi image

There is nothing like homemade gnocchi. They taste like potatoes with a bouncy texture, even without gluten. This gluten-free version uses a trick from the past when Italian cooks would toss potatoes into a fire or oven that was being cooled down so as not to waste the heat. Surplus baked potatoes became gnocchi because they have very little moisture (the secret to firm gnocchi) and they have a roasted potato flavor, taking your dish one step farther.

Time 1h41m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds potatoes
1 egg at room temperature, lightly beaten
⅓ cup potato starch
1 tablespoon sweet rice flour
½ teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons rice flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prick each potato a few times with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
  • Peel potatoes and pass through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl. Make a well in the mashed potatoes with a wooden spoon and pour in egg; mix well.
  • Whisk potato starch, sweet rice flour, and salt together in a bowl. Sprinkle over potato mixture; stir until a soft dough has formed. Cut dough into 4 equal parts with a knife or pastry cutter.
  • Dust work surface with rice flour to keep dough from sticking. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a rope about 1 inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch gnocchi. Gently roll each one with the back of a fork to create ridges. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Shake off any excess rice flour and let gnocchi rest, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi in batches and cook, without stirring, until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb peeled potatoes (russet or Idaho) or 3 large potatoes (russet or Idaho)
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup fine grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 cups bob's red mill all purpose gluten-free flour
1/2 cup gluten free rice flour, for dusting the surface

Steps:

  • Place the potato in a large pot of lightly salted water. Cook until soft, drain and put through a ricer (food mill) Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, incorporate the potato, egg, cheese and seasonings.
  • Add the gluten free flour to the potato mixture.
  • Mix to form a smooth but slightly sticky dough. Do not overwork the dough.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into 1/2 inch thick "ropes." Cut each into 1 inch long lengths.
  • Roll each into a ball; then roll each dumpling over the back of a fork to make indents, forming a shell shape.
  • Cook in simmering lightly salted water for 4-5 minutes (the dumplings will rise to the surface) When done remove with a slotted spoon; gently rinse with cold water. When cool add a touch of oil to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together. Unused portions can be frozen for future use.
  • Tip - as a main dish we fry diced bacon, onions and minced garlic in butter until crisp. Add the gnocchi and saute until lightly brown. Top with melted butter and fresh chopped basil leaves.

GLUTEN FREE GNOCCHI



Gluten Free Gnocchi image

I get emails from Gluten Free Club that sends recipes every few days. This it what I got today and it looks easy and fun! If you don't have potato starch, you can substitute it with cornstarch, which is more easily accessible. I am not including chilling time. Enjoy!

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 potatoes
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
rice flour, for dusting and rolling

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and slice them into squares and place them into boiling water. Cook them until just softened. Drain them and mash them well. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Mix the potatoes with the rest of the ingredients well. Refridgerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Dust the dough with rice flour to keep it from sticking as you work with it.
  • Separate the dough into 4 - 6 pieces. Make these into twisty tie pieces that have a diameter of 1/2 inch. Slice them into 1/2 inch long chunks.
  • In a large pot with salted water. Boil the gnocchi for about 5 minutes and they rise to the surface of the water and are softened.
  • With a slotted spoon, take the cooked gnocchi after they've come to the surface and jiggle them to get rid of extra water. Serve these up with warm or melted butter or tomato sauce.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, for the best texture.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be fork-tender before you mash them.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
  • Use a light touch when shaping the gnocchi: Don't press too hard on the dough, or the gnocchi will become dense.
  • Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling water: This will help to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Cook the gnocchi in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce: Gnocchi can be served with a variety of sauces, such as pesto, tomato sauce, or Alfredo sauce.

Conclusion:

Making gluten-free gnocchi at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious gnocchi that everyone will enjoy. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
