    Question Ah... how do I make gnocchi if I don't have a potato ricer or a mouli!

    I can still do it right... someone? From what i can gather, I'm trying to get the potato not pulverised but crushed finely? So they still have some body? Whats the best way to do this without a potato ricer / mouli?

    I have done it in the past with a metal strainer/sieve. It's harder work but it does the job.

    They're a bit clunky & big for storing, but I reckon my potato ricer (a metal one), is one of my best investments for cooking. Awesome for gnocchi (obviously), but also for just plain old mashed spud. And easier to clean than a sieve IMHO. Christmas is coming too

    Good for playdough pressing too.. so multi-function really
