4 tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil

Ingredients may vary. Always check packaging for allergen information.

Method

Steam the potatoes for around 15 mins, or until completely tender
Drain and leave to cool a little, then mash. Season, then mix in the olive oil and flour to make a dough
If it’s very soft and wet, add a little more flour until the dough is pliable and has a texture a little like soft playdough
Divide the mixture into quarters
Roll each quarter out on a floured work surface into a sausage shape around 40cm long, then cut into 2cm pillows
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the gnocchi in batches, for 2-3 minutes.
Once they have risen to the surface, cook for another minute, then scoop out with a slotted spoon, leave to drain and continue with the next batch
Once all the gnocchi are cooked, heat the rapeseed oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic, lemon zest and capers and fry briefly, until fragrant
Add the drained gnocchi and fry for a couple of minutes, then season and stir in the lemon juice and parsley to serve
