Cooking Tips

• Be careful not to overwork the dough when mixing the ingredients, as this can result in tough gnocchi.
• To achieve a light and fluffy texture, use a potato ricer or a fine-mesh sieve to mash the potatoes.
• For a variation, you can add cooked spinach or roasted vegetables to the gnocchi dough for added flavor and color.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover gnocchi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, simply sauté the gnocchi in a pan with a little butter or olive oil until heated through.
• Serve the Knockout Gnocchi as a main course with a side salad or as a side dish alongside roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
