Mix:
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup water
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 teaspoon soft butter
Whir this at low speed in a food processor.
In another bowl mix:
- 2 cups instant potato flakes
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Add this mixture to processor and mix at low speed until dough forms.
Flour hands and table and knead dough then roll out flat, cut into strips and roll the strips into ropes. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces and roll each piece with the tines of the fork (for that "gnocchi look"). Boil in salted water for about 3-5 minutes. Drain with slotted spoon rather than a colander because they are a bit delicate. Add sauce of your choice.
You can play around with the dough by adding parmesan, minced sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, whatever takes your fancy.
My impression
Made with good quality dried potatoes this will be quite good; about the only change I'd make is to use fresh rather than dried herbs.
