This Pillowy Potato Vegan Gnocchi recipe turns the inexpensive, humble potato into a 5-star dish. Using only 3 ingredients and these step-by-step instructions, this is a meal the whole family will love. 

Ingredients

Scale

For The Pillowy Potato Gnocchi:

  • 2 large or 3 medium potatoes
  • 3–4 cups All Purpose Flour (more if needed)
  • 2 tsp salt

For Brown Butter Sage Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp vegan butter
  • 10–12 leaves of fresh sage
  • Himalayan sea salt to finish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Poke several holes in the potato with a fork. I wrap mine in tinfoil but this is optional. Place on baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 45 min or until fully cooked and tender. Inserting a knife into the centre should be easy.
  3. Allow to cool completely before handling. Once cooled remove skin. Use a potato ricer or add potatoes to a large bowl and mash very well. There should be no to very little lumps.
  4. Combine flour and salt on a clean dry surface. Begin working the potato into the flour. Continue to knead and work the mixture until it’s fully combined. You do not want the dough to be moist or sticky. Keeping adding as much flour as needed until you get a nice dry dough. Click here to watch me demonstrate.
  5. Once fully combined, roll the dough into a ball. Cut into about 8 pieces or strips. Roll each piece into a rope thats about 1/2 inch thick. From the rope cut the gnocchi pieces into 1 inch pieces. Option to roll the pieces in flour so they don’t stick together.
  6. Leave gnocchi as is or use a fork or gnocchi board to make grooves.
  7. Bring a medium/large pot of salted water to boil. Add gnocchi to the boiling water taking care not to overcrowd.  May need to cook in batches. Once they float, cook for 1 minute longer. Remove with slotted spoon.
  8. Meanwhile, heat vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cooked gnocchi. Fry the gnocchi for 4-5mins or until the outside is brown and crispy and the butter has darkened slightly and the sage is fragrant. Remove from heat and finish with a sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt
