Potato Gnocchi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 lb desiree potatoes
2 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 oz grated Parmesan cheese
1 None egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup '00' type flour
None None semolina flour, to dust

Preparation

Simmer potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain. Peel then return to pan and cook gently, for 2-3 mins, to dry out and remove extra moisture. Press through a potato ricer into a mixing bowl.
Add butter, cheese, egg yolk and salt to potatoes and mix until combined. Add flour and mix until the dough stops sticking to your fingers.
Dust a flat work surface with semolina. Roll dough out into 1/3 inch thick logs then cut at 2 inch intervals with a spatula. Roll each cylinder along the tines of a fork to form gnocchi.
Blanch gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float. Serve immediately.
