Making noky from beginner to pro. A beginner potato prep is simple. Boiled hole, peeled once cool, and then mashed. Adding eggs, salt, and flour to bring it together. Then dividing, rolling, and chopping the dough into bite-sized pieces. Boiled until they rise to the surface and then given a little crisp up. Tastes like noky, but the texture needs work. Chiefly the chewiness that comes from too much gluten, aka too much flour. But that flour was needed because the potatoes had too much moisture. So for intermediate, we salt bake in the oven to draw out more water. Then using a ricer or sieve to get a smoother consistency and bringing the dough together like before but with much less flour needed. Then once poured and fried like before the result is airy pillowy like noky with all the potato flavor coming through. Now pro is a bit of a curveball. Ditching potatoes entirely and going for a Parisian style noki that starts similar to making shoe pastry. Water butter and flour makes what’s called a panard which is then mixed with Djon mustard and palmesan. Adding eggs one at a time then finishing it with some chopped parsley. Loading it into a piping bag. Then using this really cool string technique I saw the chefs at Faro use to ping off each noky piece into the water. Then board and fried to complete what is by no means traditional or even Italian, but incredibly delicious noki nevertheless.

  1. My god the BS on this video….. Firstly the size of gnocchi makes the difference and these are way too big. Secondly you can boil potatoes, only let them cool down before you peel them so they will not absorb so much flour….. Source: I'm Italian and started tasting real gnocchi from the age of 4 when I was stealing them while under my grandma's table 😂

  2. Old, wrinkly potatoes are the go-to for gnocchi, since they already lost much water (it's water loss over time making old vegetables wrinkly)

  3. The first version is the closest to the best. My grandmother always made hers chewy, and never crisped them. I can't stand gnocchi any other way now.

  4. I've never known kitchen mess like the one time I made gnocchi. Never again, the premade from the supermarket is fine thanks

  5. It's not Gnocchi unless it has potato, Intermediate for the W!

    Top level is only Gnocchi if you want to go to war with Italians over their cuisine 😂
