Easy Gnocchi With Brown Butter And Sage 5fix Recipes

GNOCCHI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour a mound of kosher salt onto a rimmed baking sheet. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and nestle them in the salt; this prevents the potatoes from browning and draws out their moisture. Bake the potatoes until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let sit until just cool enough to handle.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a potato ricer; discard the skin. Press the flesh through the ricer onto a floured counter or cutting board; let cool 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spread out the potatoes slightly. Beat the egg with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and drizzle over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the potato mixture with 1 cup flour and knead until a smooth dough forms, adding up to 1/2 cup more flour if the dough is sticky. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 10 minutes.
• Lightly flour your surface. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and roll into "snakes," about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1/2-to-1-inch lengths with a bench cutter or knife; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly dust with flour.
• Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Cook, stirring, until the butter develops brown flecks and smells nutty. Watch it closely to keep the butter solids from burning. Remove from the heat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi; wait until they float to the surface, then simmer 30 more seconds. (Taste one to make sure it's cooked through.) Return the brown butter to medium-low heat. Scoop the gnocchi from the pot with a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to the skillet and toss until some of the brown-butter flecks stick to the gnocchi. Add the red pepper flakes, sage and a few tablespoons of the gnocchi cooking water; toss again. Remove from the heat and add half of the cheese. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove and set up a large ice bath near the pot.
• Place the mashed potatoes on a clean surface and make a well in the center of the potatoes. Distribute the flour evenly over the potatoes.
• Crack the egg into the well, and beat with a fork. The egg will slowly start to pull the flour and potato mixture into the center. Continue beating until the egg is no longer separate from the flour and potato mixture.
• Roll entire mixture into a ball and knead for 4 - 5 minutes until dry. Use additional flour sparingly if mixture remains too moist.
• Separate dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a long rope about 3/4" in diameter. Cut each rope into 1" segments and pinch each segment slightly for texture.
• Once all gnocchi are formed, place in batches into the boiling water. Cook until gnocchi float to the surface, about 1 minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and place in the ice bath. Continue until all gnocchi are cooked and placed in ice bath.
• In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Allow to sit until milk solids separate to bottom of pan and begin to turn brown. Immediately turn off heat and add sage and gnocchi. Toss until gnocchi are thoroughly coated with butter and sage mixture. Serve immediately.
