Notes
Tip from my kitchen: Press the potatoes through a ricer while still hot and work in the flour gradually until the dough has a good grip – chilling it for 30 minutes makes it easier to shape. Raw shaped gnocchi freeze beautifully: pre-freeze them on a floured tray, then drop them straight from frozen into water that is only gently simmering. My favorite way is to pan-fry them in vegan butter until crispy and serve the balsamic bell pepper and sage vegetables alongside.
