...Night Time Is The Right Time, For Making Gnocchi.
While cleaning out the pantry shelves the other day, I found an issue of Food & Wine magazine that featured a homemade Meyer lemon gnocchi recipe on the cover.
"Hmm..." I noted. "I like gnocchi."
Flipping to the recipe, I figured it would be difficult to make. It required potatoes. And egg yolks. And flour. And the ability to roll out strings of dough, and cut them precisely into 1/2 inch lengths.
"Screw it!" I said to the intimidation. And I did it anyway.
Here's me making the dough.
Here's me finishing the dough.
Here's a picture of the dough once it has been rolled out and cut.
And here's a picture of the finished product, with some grilled lemon chicken.
They weren't perfectly shaped like the gnocchi you get a restaurants... But they tasted great and didn't look that bad.

No, I did not use Meyer Lemons... As I have not been able to find any either.
If you make the recipe, one recommendation I have is to really crisp up and brown the gnocchi at the end. I was too careful with browning it, but the gnocchi are very durable... So i should have been more aggressive with browning.
Bravo!
You're right this does look complicated and then I wouldn't try it. I am encouraged!
Williams Sonoma has one... (Link below).
I didn't use one, though. I went to three stores yesterday to find one, but no one had one in stock. So I just used my fork and really broke up the potatoes.
