- 5-6 large russet potato
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- flaky sea salt
- 2 1/2 cups russet potato mashed, or riced
- 1 1/4 cup 00 Flour
- 1 tsp of salt
- ¼ cup flour for rolling
Get the Smoker rolling and toss the taters in the oil and salt them well( this will help remove more of the moisture! ). Place them into the preheated smoker and them cook till they are easily pierced with a knife, roughly 1 ½ hour. Remove them from the smoker and allow to cool.
Once potato is cooled, halve each one. Using a spoon, remove all of the flesh from the potatoes leaving only the skin and dump it into a clean bowl. Once the potatoes are all cleaned, using a ricer and another bowl, mash all of the potatoes so that there are no lumps!
Into a new bowl, measure out the potato and place it in. Next, add the oil and salt. Now, begin to add your flour. I add 1 cup in, mix it real well, then test it. Is it sticky, is it too stiff…You don’t want to add too much flour and make it stiff. Just keep the flour ready in case you need it.
Once dough is formed, cut ball into 4 quarters. Cover 3 of them with a tea towel to keep it from drying out.
Working a quarter at a time, roll out into a 1/2” thick Tube. Cut the tube into 3/4” to 1” pieces.
Now you can get creative. You could leave the Gnocchi as is here, or you can get some grooves on it. You can great the classic grooved look by using the back of a fork, or using a Gnocchi Board! I do love the board for this, as the grooves are smaller and tighter.
That’s it. You can freeze on a Cookie sheet with Parchment paper and covered with plastic wrap, or go straight to the water with them. If you do cook them, salted boiling water and cook till floating! So Easy!!!
