Recipe from the TV show "Tim Malzer Cooks!"

Gnocchi

for 2-3 servings

600 gr potatoes
2 yolks
50 g semolina
50 gr flour
salt, nutmeg

Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water, drain the water. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and leave to dry in an oven preheated to 180 ° for 5-7 minutes.
Peel the potatoes and pass through a potato press or meat grinder 2 times. (I used a meat grinder).



Season the potato mass with salt and nutmeg, add yolks, semolina, flour, mix well with a spoon.
Dust the work surface well with flour. Spoon the dough onto the flour and lightly roll in the flour. Divide the dough into 4 pieces.
Roll each piece into a sausage about 35 cm long and cut into 1-1.5 cm wide pieces.
I took a few photos of course to illustrate the gnocchi molding process,





but better watch how the author does it.

Quickly put the finished gnocchi into a colander with a slotted spoon, lower the colander for a couple of seconds into a prepared pot of ice water.

Stelochka, jacket potatoes are boiled. Before it's too late, I want to understand for myself: "Why dip the ready-made gnocchi in a colander in ice water ?!" What does it do?

So that they do not stick together and are slightly stronger than steel.

I thought so, but the doubt took on that the water was not boiled. To be sure, I held it for 1 minute. in sauce in the microwave. I liked the dumplings; one drawback is a lot of dishes to wash.
