Ingredients

  • 3 Potatoes (or sweet potatoes or kabocha squash)
  • 80 grams Bread (strong) flour
  • 1 pinch Salt

Method

  • Wrap unpeeled potatoes with plastic wrap and heat in the microwave for 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the skins.
  • Heat some more until softened.
  • Mash the potatoes in a bowl.
  • Add the flour and a pinch of salt and mix with a spoon (it's okay if it becomes crumbly).
  • Once no longer powdery, bring it all together with your hands and knead lightly.
  • It's ready when it's about the consistency of your ear.
  • (You don't need to knead it like bread.)
  • Make small discs of the dough and use a fork to dust the pieces with a bit of bread flour, then use the back of the fork to flatten each piece.
  • At this time, after the gnocchi has been dusted with flour and pressed, you can put them in a Ziploc bag and store in the freezer.
  • Then, when you want to eat, all you have to do is boil.
  • Bring water to a boil in a pot, add the salt, and boil the gnocchi.
  • Boil for a bit after they have risen to the surface.
  • Drain.
  • Top with your favorite sauce.
  • Boiled gnocchi goes well with olive oil, salt, and is especially delicious when sprinkled with Parmesan cheese!
  • This is gnocchi made with kabocha squash.
  • You can make a boiled dish with the remaining kabocha squash!
  • This sauce is made by mixing together soy milk and cream cheese.
  • [Broccoli sauce] Soft, boiled broccoli is finely chopped and crispy.
  • Saute it in a frying pan with olive oil and garlic.
  • If you have some, add some anchovies and stir-fry while crushing up the broccoli.
  • Mix in some chopped walnuts, salt, and powdered cheese to finish.
  • [Blue cheese sauce] Warm up 1/2 cup of soy milk in a frying pan.
  • Add a good amount of Gorgonzola cheese (about 80 g).
  • Add a bit of honey until thickened (any kind of cheese is good).
  • Sprinkle some walnuts on top.
  • You can also add some sauteed onions.
  • [Avocado Basil Sauce] Just mix together some basil pesto and avocado while mashing the avocado.
  • Mash until the avocado retains just a bit of its shape.
  • [Lemon butter or lemon oil] Melt 1 tablespoon (or 2 for 2 people) of butter in a small pot or the microwave.
  • Add 1~2 tablespoons of lemon juice, a bit of salt, and mix.
  • You can also use olive oil instead of butter (and you won't have to heat it).
  • Boiled lemon oil with parsley is also good.
  • Sprinkle as desired with Parmesan cheese.
