Homemade Potato Gnocchi with Chickpea Flour

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 lbs potatoes (e.g. Yukon Gold), peeled and chopped (1 kg)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups chickpea flour (180-240 g)
  • 1 cup tapioca flour + more for dusting (120 g)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparation

  1. Peel and chop potatoes, transfer them to a pot with salted water and bring to a boil.

  2. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes or until tender, drain.

  3. Transfer back to the pot and mash with a potato masher without using a food processor or blender.

  4. Add 1 1/2 cups of chickpea flour and the tapioca flour and knead with your hands until a dough forms.

  5. If the dough is too sticky, add more chickpea flour and knead again, adjusting up to 2 cups depending on the potato type.

  6. Cut the dough into equally sized pieces and dust with a little tapioca flour.

  7. Roll each piece into strands with your fingers.

  8. Use a knife to cut the dough into 1-inch pieces and form them into small balls with your hands.

  9. Optionally roll each ball over the back of a fork to create ridges.

  10. Add the gnocchi to a pot of salted boiling water and cook until they rise to the surface, which takes 2-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

  11. Serve with a sauce of choice or fry in a pan with a little vegan butter or vegetable oil for a few minutes until crispy.
