PorchBox Thanksgiving Leftover: Potato Gnocchi w/ Gravy Cream Sauce
Ingredients (1 - 3 servings)
6 oz/1 cup of mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 tsp. of salt
3/4 - 1 cup All Purpose Flour
Leftovers: ham, turkey, green beans, carrots, etc
2 oz gravy
splash cream or 2 Tbs butter
Optional: cranberry sauce, herbs (chives, green onion, sage, etc)
Instructions
Boil a pot of water. Meanwhile . . .
To make dough: combine mashed potatoes, egg, and salt to a bowl. Stir to combine and pour in flour 1/4 cup at a time. Mix together, and add more as necessary to combine into a uniform dough mixture.
To shape, knead for one minute and roll into a tube/snake. Use a fork to cut gnocchi into desired size, and roll on the back of a fork to get the gnocchi texture.
Once water is boiling, boil for 8-10 minutes until gnocchi float (that means they are done). Stir occasionally to keep gnocchi from sticking to each other or to pot. Drain from water.
To make sauce: Sautee leftovers together for 2-3 minutes until warm. Pour in gravy & cream/butter and cook for another minute until combined. Toss in gnocchi and cook until combined.
To serve: pour into bowls and garnish with cranberry sauce & herbs. Enjoy.
