Looks great! I was actually thinking about doing gnocchi tonight but we had pasta last night. I think I might make a batch to go with the Valentine surf and turf.

Zippy did you bake the potatoes?

Richie,
Poke holes and dry them and then bake.
the meat of the potatoes should be dry and flaky when you open them...

Nice. I like how you roll yours out and then cut. Purists gasp in horror at your speed and efficiency. My wife and I usually make 10 pounds at a time to vac pac and freeze and that is exactly how we do it. Great job. And the steak look pretty good too.

I was thinking about this freezing thing... I assume I would freeze then vac seal (would not squish them). When you cook a frozen batch do you put them in boiling water frozen?

Zippy, great looking meal. I'm not allowing my wife to see this one. It will only give her idea's and send me off to the grocers.

Point for sure.

Great looking meal zippy!!! Looks delicious.
Where I grew up in Saskatchewan, it was meat and potatos. My guess is that nobody could even pronounce gnocchi let alone had eaten it.
So that said......
How long do you fry them and what's the sage to butter ratio??
I'd really like to try this.
Who says you can't teach an old redneck new tricks? LOL

We freeze them on a cookie sheet and then pack. we just toss them frozen into some boiling water for a few minutes and they come out great. Try using whole wheat flour sometime. Give a nuttier flavor. Works well with the butter and sage. Cheers!

How do you tell the dough is cooked? It floats when done?

 

[zippy12]

yes it floats
