1. Methods for Gnocchi
1. Preheat oven to 200°C using 4D Hot Air mode.
2. Place potatoes on a tray. Pierce with fork, and season with salt to taste. Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Check with skewer to ensure they are fully cooked and soft. Leave aside to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Skin cooked potatoes. Pass through ricer into a bowl. Make a crater in the centre.
5. Add eggs, nutmeg, white pepper, and salt. Knead for about 5 to 10 minutes to combine.
6. Sieve 200g of the flour into a bowl, and add to potato mix. Continue kneading to form dough, and divide into four pieces.
7. Lightly dust worktop surface with some of the remaining flour. Roll each piece into a string with 2cm thickness.
8. Cut strings into 1cm long nuggets, and use the tip of a fork to make markings. Place and space nuggets on lined baking tray to prevent clumping.
