How to Make Perfect Gnocchi
It's easier than you think
One person’s leftover mashed potatoes is another person’s gnocchi. Like meatballs, gnocchi is a great vessel for flavor. It’s fun, delicious, and so flexible—you can use your favorite sauce, whatever potatoes you have on hand, and even crisp them up to top a salad. I love getting purple and sweet potatoes, because they’re richer in nutrients and antioxidants than typical Russets.
As we head into colder months, keep these recipes in mind when you have leftover mashed potatoes in your fridge! I also added a variation made with cottage cheese for a protein-rich meal that comes together in a food processor.

I finally invested in a walking pad to go under my standing desk. Do you walk on one during calls?? I haven’t yet!
Mike Solomonov came to my apartment the other day to make a recipe from his new cookbook. I haven’t bookmarked this many recipes since Sababa—you’ll love it.
You all know I recently got a new food processor, which makes making gnocchi so easy. This little one is great too if you have limited counter space.
The perfect fall dinner, served with a garlicky vegan sauce.
Cottage Cheese Gnocchi with Fresh Herb Sauce
Light and fluffy, like ricotta gnocchi, but packed with extra protein.
Spinach Gnocchi with Green Goddess Pesto
This is really more of a classic gnocchi than potato, but the texture is so similar—and no one will believe how much spinach is packed into this bowl.
Use any leftover mashed potatoes you have and serve with your favorite magic sauce! Dinner is served.
