How to cook S.O.S.

  • Add gound meat and onions to a pan and cook all the way through. (add a splash of oil if needed.)
  • Add butter and let it melt. Then add flour stir till completely mixed with meat. Let the flour cook off for a few minutes.

  • add garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste.

How to cook Gnocchi

  • Boil potatoes to fork tender. I usually cut them up so they cook faster.
  • When done boiling drain water and mash potatoes. If you have a potato ricer that would be best but just a normal masher is good to. Let your mashed potatoes cool to room temperature.
  • place of a flat surface and create a well. crack your egg into well and whisk egg while slowly incorporating surrounding potato.
  • When potato and egg are completely combined add flour. Kneed till it is a workable dough. Much like a pasta dough. You may need more or less flour depending on amount of potatoes used and for dusting your dough and surface.
  • After kneeding roll your dough into snake like form. No bigger than 1 inch thick. Then cut them about 1 inch wide.
  • add gnocchi to boiling salted water. You will know they are cooked when they float to the top. This wont take very long.
  • Lastly, put some oil in a pan and sear till slightly browned. Then add to your S.O.S. and mix! You don't have to sear but I think it firms the gnocchi up a little more.
