Potato Gnocchi

[roman14032]

Ok, not bad, way too much sause, very few people in italy bother with the ridges,the ket to great gnocchi is useing as little flour as possible

[phillyhippie]

could i use this potato dough to make cheese stuffed ravioli?

[greeeyedboi]

is that recipe for gnocchi good for chicken and gnocchi soup?

[applebee1998]

you sound like Brent Butt

[aznmickster]

can u store the dough?

[actorsnonactors]

If you roll them down the front of the fork, they don't get stuck as much. Hold the fork at a 45 degree angle to your work surface, touching the surface.

Hi everyone! One of my friends, a top graduate of USC film school wrote and directed this short film called THE BROKEN HEART OF GNOCCHI BOLOGNESE. It's a whimsical, fun, romantic comedy that appeals to food lovers. The trailer is listed under my favorites on my YouTube page or you can find it by searching for the title. The entire film is available on the iPad app Play Festival Films. The link for the iPad app is listed in the description of the trailer. Check it out. Thanks!

[WatersEdgeCT]

way too much sauce! quella e un'infamia.

[Bubviv]

Chef John, can I like not bother with the sieve and use a potato ricer instead?

[poneylepecheur]

tes gnocchi i sont bizarr on cuit pas les potatos au micro onde c bien les ricains sa

[iBegToDiffer]

POTAYTA.



[spicywinter]

Just made this!....just say chef john this the second recipe of yours I've tried came out just perfect...I used alfredo for my sauce though....perfect! Can't wait to try others!

[onfiremusicman]

I'm sure this video made my nystagmus worse.

[SuddenSparkles]

this is my favorite John video... every time I go make gnocchi, I consult this video for proportions... the only thing I would recommend is a potato ricer rather than using a strainer/sieve... easier, faster and not quite as messy/fussy... tomorrow I am going to try a variation on this and put the dough through the ricer using the disc with the largest holes to get a kind of spatzle... wish me luck! to be served with a simple tomato sauce with my favorite herb:  tarragon

[Kylie7087]

"It really has to go by feel, and, if you've never made gnocchi before, good luck with that."

[Elantry]

Gnice recipe! These are good as an aside too, e.g. with roasted meat and salad.

[Apachaka]

Should flour it before you cut it so it doesnt stick to tools.

[Apachaka]

If you never made Gnocchi before, goodluck LMAO

[lexiiemouangkhot]

What if you want them more pasta-like ? Any suggestions ?

[shagel7]

@lexiiemouangkhot more flour

[ibby6666]

i just made that but i wraped the potato up wih foild really tight and boiled it for like 45 minuts. but i tell u what it turned out awsome plase make more videos ur really good man!

[ibby6666]

ur friken awsom!

[G2daLUV]

explained really nicely....you have a real comforting voice

[Aisyah75]

u do have an alfredo sauce video? coz, i'd like to make alfredo gnocchi~ :DD

[itsJuliaaa143]

"its okay to microwave it, stop making that face" hahaha

[Chinnzo12]

2:10-2:15 that's what she said

[youveable]

I love gnocchi!! I'll definately try ur recipe next time. By the way, I always cook my potatoes in the microwave oven :p

[agnesdeque]

magnifique,ça me donne faim!!!

[R33m83]

looks yummy ,i'll make it with a creamy sauce .

[Alalalalala11]

I made this the other day.... I put the potato in the microwave and it turned out ... something like a sticky paste like ummm, glue. I couldn't mix that properly with the flour and the egg and the kitchen became a mess.. what went wrong???

[YoureSuchADramaQueer]

"It's ok to microwave them.... stop making that face!" That really made my day!

[chefas17]

Why is one of the tags for this video "sex"?

[Zamanian]

@chefas17 haha

[michalis9]

@chefas17 Because you roll and "it gets longer, and loger, and longer"

[chefas17]

@michalis9

lol you have a point



[aurielMoon]

@chefas17 because really good gnocchi is just as good as sex

[chefas17]

@aurielMoon

i didnt know potatoes were that sexual hahaha...

[tnglo]

@chefas17 I think it's supposed to be "food sex" because that's what it is to me! You know, like a food-gasm, earth porn, etc.

[fuckY0couch420]

@chefas17 because gnocchi tastes like sex

[chefas17]

@fuckY0couch420

so this means potatoes taste like sex? damn no wonder everyone loves fries... food-gasm

[MrsAnna19988]

@chefas17 maybe to gain views? ;-)

[Dani1165]

There's a fine line between pride in your culture and pure pretentiousness.

Some of the eye-talians posting comments on this video are flirting dangerously with it.

[gavin32]

and if you've never made gnocchi before.... good luck..with that..

[heidishoshana]

mmm these are amazing with san marzano vodka sauce... expensive, definitely a splurge (about 9 dollars a jar) but amazing and worth it.

[romero271991]

You make even the most complicated recipes seems so simple...i love you!

[mharvz]

The texture should be starchy, not moistly-mush. Starchy texture from potatoes allows you to use a little amount of flour and to create a nice, pliable dough that's perfect for shaping.

[24lanovia]

Thanks for the recipe, you're great. I hope you always will sharing rhe recipe with us

[bluefogtree]

great recipe, i made it for my boyfriend the other day.

[gideon1452]

GNOHKEE?

[Annettesmusic]

Very nice video. I'm gonna make some soon, once this heatwave passes.

[jaysenchef]

@pocketlint59...you want to rice the potatoes so they become light and airy when they cook. If you don't have a ricer try a colander or use a fork. It's better than mashing. Also you want to mix in the egg and flour when the potatoes are still warm. Also way too much sauce!!

[pocketlint59]

@jaysenchef

thanks for your reply!

[pocketlint59]

why can't you mash the potatoes? having it grated seems irrelevant after you form it into a dough. please kindly explain.

[CinnamonGoodnes3]

it's pronounced nyoke-ee, with an OH. just so you know. i love this stuff!!

[pokoyoma]

Great job!! I tried your recipe for my mothers birthday! It was amaseing!! Thank you! And i greatly appreciate the food humor. haha pronounced Gnochee. :)

I will use this recapie again fine sir. :]

[peechgurl]

its ok to microwave it! stop makin ghat face!!! lol

[StarleePie47]

Gnochi are yummy!

[fizzletto3]

@Fus319 ah piss off you self absorbed tosspot, "our food" yeah right we're all human, did you personally invent the recipe? i dont bloody think so, anyone can make it however the hell they like just leave us alone. "ugg".

[revert20071]

did you use egg yolk or the whole egg?

[shannonleta]

Yayyy you pronounced it GNONCKY. I'm Italian and that's the way we pronounce it in my house. I hate it when people say nocchi or guhnocci. blah! haha Great recipe - one of my favs!

[chellephone]

Wouldn't it be "What are your food wishes?" or "What is your food wish?"

[TheTumboos]

stop making that face... hahahhahahaha

[omgspazattack]

I LOVE your videos, always, but I'm sorry...for a chef, your pronunciation could use some work XD;

[Isus1]

Seriously fuck you food wish dick. No self respecting Italian would microwave a potato. Stop calling recipes something they are not you cochroach

[fizzletto3]

@Isus1 That probably because he's not italian you moron

he can call his food whatever the hell he wants to, screw you!

[ELGQZ]

i tried this with instant mash and flour.. i was very surprised.. delcious..

[LabakiTurbo]

Hey, man! Awesome vid! You're so calm and

confident! I must agree with cainemac about the

pronouciation, though. Cool trick about the

sauce-grabbers!

Btw, are you sure you made this whole bunch

of gnocci out of one single potato?

[movieofmenywatch]

Thanks man, you sound like seth rogan by the way.

[sharpiesniffer1111]

i made it.....tasted good

[tastygarlic]

Chef had me make some of these last week - 3 Russets, one egg yolk, salt... we have a little wooden paddle with micro-ridges that's used to roll them. Meat serves them as a side, cooked in EVO and one of various sauces.. yummy! I am hoing to pre-make some for the boat races this weekend! Your videos are great, Chef - Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the community. I learn a great deal from you.

[Le78753]

they are alot better with just butter and garlic

[imcloaked]

Good, unpretentious, informative!

[cainemac]

wtf? dude. nice recipe but..

Opening line, made me crack up.

In NO part of the world, [nor Italy!] is gnocchi pronounced "G'nyOH-kee" with a hard 'G'

Any italian would slap you.

It's simply "Nokkee" or "ñ-Okkee"

[fizzletto3]

@cainemac Did you even see the caption "Gno, it's gnot"? He was JOKING you fucking idiot.

[romero271991]

@cainemac I hate douches like you..

[ShatterEffectt]

@cainemac It was so obviously a joke that you look like such an idiot for trying to be a smart ass.

[shagel7]

@cainemac that's why he added the caption "gno it's gnot"

[v0zbox]

@cainemac You may want to get acquainted with Chef John's good friend Sarcasm.

[MissNoots]

@cainemac 0:10 Pronounced with a hard g? Gno, it's gnot.

[whatubeaccount1]

@cainemac uhh...chef john is a professional. he is also sarcastic. i suggest you kill yourself.

[Hail2TheVictorsBaby]

I love Pesto Gnocchi. mmmm gonna go make some right now.

[shaycoiee]

can i use my potato ricer instead of the strainer?

[ojosmasverdes]

We italian do the gnocchi by hand...with any spatula...and it was too much sauce for the few gnocchis...sorry! but the concept and dought was pretty good..thank you

[jackcheng816]

looks like siht...

[Hail2TheVictorsBaby]

ok chink

[AbstractMan23]

great video, thanks - just what i was looking for.

you sure it's 14 seconds - i thought it would be more like 16 seconds... ;-)

[HarizLeeSir]

Luv the basic recipe. For variations, I sometimes make it with sweet potato, pumpkin and yam. I like to serve them very simple. Sage and butter(pumpkin or sweet potato) or Asian syle with sweet soy and hoisin(yam). Its one of my favouritest pasta out there. So good, so darn good and very comforting.

[Javindo]

It took me soooo long to do the strainer part but it was worth it - tasted awesome too! Thanks :D

[itsaidhi]

man this takes me 2-3 hours to make, taste great, better than what you buy at the store.

[meekah666]

This is the most amazing recipe ever. Making gnocchi used to be such a huge event in my house... all the boiling and the potato pealing! I just did a batch for my husband and I using this recipe and it was done in 15 minutes with no mess at all. AND IT TASTED GREAT! Thank you so much.

[eh7rainbow]

0:23 - surprising... how did you know i was making a face? hahaha

[Tik3lTatski]

"...if you've never made gnocchi then good luck." Wow what an ass. Just because I'm not Italian XD

[itsaidhi]

think i said it before on diff video. also pronounced ge-noki!

[ArchiveStacks]

Brilliant... Bravo Sir... I said Bravo.

[juugoolart]

you are amazing!!

[scoobydog411]

Add black Pepper Garlic powder . taste then add more salt . . After they cool put in a sauce , dont cook it long . tell me what you think K . Chow Dudes

[scoobydog411]

Hi Dudes . I just made it . its pretty good . i can tell you what i did. Their is alot he didnt say i think . yes you can boil , steam , bake the potatoes. I think your want a spicey sause to put them on . And please dont rush cooking them . When you are doing the final boil ( steam) after you rolled them you pull them out , put in a oiled pan let them set up and cool. they fall apart very easly.

[SuddenSparkles]

Now I'm ready to pursue my gnocci fantasy to the fullest... thanks for the lovely video, John.

[danieller123]

i thought i was the only one with a gnocci fantasy! lol!!

[SuddenSparkles]

Ha ha ha are you kidding? I think I've felt this way since Andy Garcia and Godfather III in the kitchen with his "kissing cousin"... the delightful Sofia Coppola... I'm still dying on the steps with her and those roses.

[danieller123]

:) I tried this for dinner tonight and it was YUMMY!!! MMM GOOD! My hubby never had gnocci and it was my first time making it from scratch, both worked out wonderful! Thanks for this video, gnocci fantasy accomplished!! LOL

[SuddenSparkles]

Inspired by Danieller123 I went ahead and made a double batch of gnocci today... it was wonderful... I must say that after the boiling process I did a quick saute in small amount of butter until lightly golden. I added a few spices and some freshly grated cheese and sauce was not needed. The sweetness of these little pasta dumplings was wonderful. I enjoyed making these. John, you are the best! It was so much fun. Next time I will be a little more adventurous and chop in some basil.

[danieller123]

good for you SS! :)

[SuddenSparkles]

You mean SSS? SuddenSparkleS... :) tonight I made the gnocci with a lovely arrabiatta/puttanesca sauce, nice and flavorful and just enough spice... I'm going to have to stay an extra 30 mins on the cardio machine at the gym tomorrow!

[anniehiggy]

I have never been able to make a successful gnocchi meal until Chef John! Thank you!

(Mind you, I have yet to master the end ridge pattern...mine still look like potato pillows...but I will get those forked ridges soon! [said while donning superhero cape])

[underneaththeveneer]

I don't have a microwave but I'd like to try this recipe. Can I use my oven and if so how long should I bake them? Or should I boil them?

[katsygirl28]

yumz!

I love pasta!

[deathshot7]

wow amazing

[mafiaskateryeah]

these videos are so fun to watch and yet so yummy

:o

[tuff1444]

You make cooking from scratch look easy.

Thanks for the great videos

[shadowblade145]

NICE! even though thats not how you pronounce gnocchi it still looks VERY VERY GOOD. i love gnocchi and im going to try to make them from scratch this time. thanks!

[mieshie]

I often wondered how to really pronounce gnocchi. Thanks! BTW - I plan to try this recipe. Few ingredients and looks relatively easy to make, provided I can get the right consistency with the potato dough.

[jlite]

yummmm :o)

[iqe98]

"stop making that face"....LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[imflyinn]

I cooked this tonight and i loved it

[Heartagramerz]

grrr looks good

[atgnak]

thx i love tmt

[FYGJA]

They taste great with mushroom- or meat sauce as well! :P Try not to use 'new potatoes' to make gnocchi because they are too 'wet' so gnocchi will eventually fall apart and you might end up with potato soup;)

[ivanyhtang]

stop making that face lol

[in80sblues]

The first time was right actually... in Italiano ( Gn = Yoh ) in English more nasal.. or like ( ñ ) in Spanish .

keep up the good work..

Magnifico!

[iabbervocium]

I love gnocchi! I never make it though cause my mom won't eat them, she says they remind her of grubs.

[zby0123]

wow this takes practice lol

Ave

[choidj]

This is so simple!

[Hubrystical]

I made these for lunch today, they seemed a bit bland... maybe adding some herbs to the mix would help? Also I didn't really spend that much time on the sauce, which probably also would have helped...

[itsaidhi]

actually it's pronounced ge-nookie

short vowel sound for e

[sarchus1]

you pronounced it correctly throughout the video like Yotki. One would not pronounce the "g".

[weightywonderwoman]

What is the best type of Potato to use?

[darkmorrigan82]

I loveeeee gnocchi!!!

[zantiertasa]

1:47

"and if you've never made niokki before.... good luck... with that." lol!

[skyline3768]

hey chef john

would you mind ever making a video about some delicious drink like a fruit drink or something ?

that would be really great if you did :)

[spells14]

isnt it call "NEE YO KEE" ??

[betterth]

Oh look, a pretentious Italian...

[tyreeum]

Elmadas - I talked with your grandmother and after watching this video she has now decided to start putting eggs in her gnocchi as well...get with the times...

[elmadas]

:) if you have talked really with her, heheh I certainly would have known. Anyway, you cook how you like I don't mind, at I said TRY the other recipe. Of course we have many types of gnocchi, with spinach (instead eggs) and dressed with gorgonzola sauce, or made of breadcrumbs with spek (a type of bacon) and cooked in stock. So you can really choose what you want. If you know the basics, you can play with it and invent the new "tyreeum gnocchi", if you do, please post the recipe! ;) Take care!

[fizzletto3]

@elmadas You say "you can really choose what you want" yet in your previous post you said "Do not add egg! never"

Which is it, make your mind up. Plus, stop trying to tell people how to cook their own food. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to.

[elmadas]

@fizzletto3

you are very right!eat what you want with what you want.

have a good day.

[elmadas]

I love your videos, but this... Sorry I'm Italian and I made gnocchi a lot. 1 you should say niokki like in pinata. Then you do not add egg! never. You add eggs only in "roman gnocchi" with semolina and a totally different recipe. Please use floury potatoes and for each kg of them use only 200gr flour. The part with the fork is ok, you add salt to the water not the dough. Then you just let them rise in the boiling water. Please try them without eggs. Ciao.

[veritastm]

Anche io sono Italiano (Italo-Canadian). You're right regarding the pronunciation. My mother (buona anima) made gnocchi for 70 yrs and never used eggs. I used an egg once and I still preferred my mother's method. If you like the gnocchi firmer simply add more flour. I use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. Don't overwork the dough, it'll get mushy. Use the side of your thumb to put a dimple on the individual gnocchi. Buon appetito.

[TCassiopiea]

Brilliant! Awesome ! Delicious! THANKS!!

[sandyny]

noo italian its nokki

[lalisoki]

heuuh it seems so delicious ^^

[Saladzingers]

I have to disagree with your foodwish today, Chef John. I've made gnocchi a couple of times, and even though it's not highly complex, the doughy potato doughiness is always disappointing compared to the effort.

I think along with polenta, gnocchi classify as the blandest of carbs!

[lauweroos]

"or the skills to do it" haha i laughed.. you're a funny cook!!

[ggaeta91]

Greats vids, glad I found them and subscribed.

Side Note: Does the tastiness of the food constitute for the "sex" tag? Just possibly.

[hate6663]

dude that looks nice

[lupine73]

Awesome.

And here I've been going nuts trying to find them pre-made. Never knew it was that easy.

Will def. be making them home-made from now on... Perhaps next time I make Chicken Parm.

Great vid!

[MikesHempBracelets]

I'm so glad that I found your videos and website. Great vids!!!

[GreenHills77]

Love your vids!

[neverowned1]

palyshki!!!!!

[lilpinkchainsaw]

Question, Chef -- the last time I actually ate gnocchi (far, far too long ago for my taste!), I can remember them being kind of firm-ish? Does the amount of flour you add to the potatoes make a difference in the firmness of the gnocchi?

[foodwishes]

yes, check blog... more flour makes firmer

[lilpinkchainsaw]

Thank ya! :D

[JimmyChiffels]

If you fry to gnocchi with olive oil and butter then put them on the sauce it tastes reeally nice in a different way.

[rockyriver]

i think i'll get brave and try the gnocchi, especially since the first video i saw of yours, the dulce de leche sauce, worked like a charm. that stuff is straight to heaven! don't forget to punch the holes, though

[bluejuiseritsma]

mmmmm!!

[snowbanditz]

#50 comment.. lol

[JessicaPersonalChef]

YUM

[Keelyzh07]

yummmmmm!

[DeathCail]

LOL, the potatos magically appeared at 3:36

[tubeojuice]

Hes magic :O

[DeathCail]

Lol, I just made this. If you heat the potatoes in the microwave make sure you put water in a microwave dish and put the potato slices in it so it doesn't dry out. Mine dried out twice.

[Barnekkid]

Thanks for the smiles Chef John. When you're a big star with your own cooking show on the foodnetwork, I hope you'll still be as wonderfully funny.

[strasaphere]

Another great video mate, Keep it up :)

[Daydreamer717]

OHMYGOD! I love gnocchi! And it's so easy to make. I like how it only takes 1 potato. Really not a huge chunk of my day spent making it either. I'll have to give this a go one of these days!

[lv42daze]

can these be refridgerated overnight? as I can prepare for appetizer well before my guests arrive?

[Hubrystical]

"and if you've never made gnocchi before, good luck with that" that was funny

[Yaoyao45725]

THANKS CHEF JON!!!
