Instant Potato Gnocchi www.recipezaar.com/1133772 servings time to make 40 min / 30 min prep 2/3 cup dry potato buds for instant mashed potatoes 2/3 cup boiling water 2 spoonfulls apple sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1. PUT the potato flakes or buds in a medium-size bowl and add the boiling water; stir until blended then let cool. 2. FOLD in the apple sauce and salt with a wooden or plastic spoon or spatula. 3. ADD flour slowly, folding with the spatula, until you have a fairly firm dough that doesn't stick to the bowl. 4. TURN dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly into a ball. 5. You want just be able to work with the mixture without it sticking unduly- but too much flour will result in gnocchi that are more lead than light. 6. CUT dough in half and ROLL each half into a long cylinder about the thickness of your thumb. 7. Cut into bite-size pieces. 8. You can dust lightly with flour or semolina and set aside for a few hours. 9. TO COOK- put 6 to 8 gnocchi in a few quarts of boiling, salted water (too many at once interferes in the cooking process). 10. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon and put them in a sieve over a plate to drain further until you are ready to serve. 11. Repeat until all are cooked.
