sun-dried tomato gnocchi

Ken Burris

Serves: 6

Yields: About 12 dozen (or 6 cups) gnocchi, for 6 servings

Total Time: 2 hr 15 min

Prep Time: 1 hr

Ingredients
    U.S.         Metric     Conversion chart

    2 pound(s) medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes
    3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
    1 large egg yolk, beaten
    1/3 cup(s) sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
    1 cup(s) all-purpose flour, divided

Directions

    Preheat oven to 400°F.
    Pierce potatoes in several spots with a fork. Bake directly on Loop Hong Kongthe center rack until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 1/4 hours, depending on the size and type of your potatoes. Remove to a wire rack and let stand until cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes.
    Scoop the insides out of the potato skins and push through a potato ricer fitted with a fine disc onto a clean counter. (If you don't have a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth.) Gather the potato into a mound on the counter, sprinkle with salt and let cool, about 15 minutes.
    Meanwhile, soak sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water until soft, 10 to 20 minutes. Place the egg yolk in a food processor. Drain the tomatoes; transfer to the food processor with the yolk; pulse until pureed.
    Put a large pot of water on to boil.
    Pour tomato puree over the cooled potato and then sprinkle student exchange1 cup flour on top. Use a bench knife or metal spatula to gently fold the flour and tomato puree into the potatoes until combined (it will not look like dough at this point). Gently squeeze, knead and pat the dough until it holds together and resembles biscuit dough or cookie dough. The dough will be a little sticky; if it's very sticky, add more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary. Be careful not to overwork the dough: Overworked dough will yield tougher gnocchi.
    Pat the dough into a 1 1/2-inch-thick disk and then divide  it into 4 equal pieces. Working on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands, roll each portion into a 24- to 26-inch-long "snake," 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Start at the center of the dough and roll out using your fingertips and very light pressure; gently pull the dough out as you roll. Cut the snake into 3/4-inch pieces. Use your fingertip to make an indentation (or "dimple") in the center of each gnocchi. Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet as they are made. Repeat with remaining dough.
    Adjust the heat so the water is at a gentle boil. Add about one-quarter of the gnocchi at a time. When the gnocchi float to the top, transfer to a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Continue boiling the gnocchi in batches until they are all cooked, returning the water to a gentle boil between batches. Serve immediately or see Tips & Techniques for another variation.

Uber now lets you request a ride for someone else

Uber is adding a new feature that lets you specify someone else in your phone’s contact book as the rider for the trip. It was always possible to hail a ride and specify another pickup point if you wanted to, but the new feature really streamlines the process, allows both rider and driver to contact one another directly and still makes sure the requester is the one who foots the bill.

The new feature is simple in terms of how it’s used, adding a step when you set a pickup location that isn’t your phone’s current geotagged spot. This will call up a request dialog that asks whether the ride is for your, or for “Someone Else,” which will then open up your address book, let you pick a contact and then set the destination for the ride and send the request.

It uses your contact book info to connect the driver and the rider; the rider gets a text message to their phone that offers their driver’s name, a link that lets them track their progress on a map, and a contact number so they can reach them directly. The driver will see the rider’s name and also be able to contact them directly, though your friend’s phone number isn’t shared directly with the driver.

Uber product manager Kyle Miller explained on a call that Uber thinks this will be especially useful for users who want to provide rides to their aging loved ones, to help them with the increasing challenge of mobility when they don’t necessarily have access to their own Uber accounts or smartphone devices offshore company.

“On the product team, we’re focused on making Uber accessible to everyone in the family, and on making people’s lives easier around the world,” “What we’ve learned through research is that at a macro level, people want an easy way to request a ride for a loved one. This was in particular a big request for riders internationally, whose loved ones maybe don’t have smartphones or good connectivity, with also a specific emphasis on seniors.”

Miller said that specifically with senior loved one, their research showed that users were concerned about them losing their mobility as they got older, and they were also concerned about being overwhelmed with having to take on managing those mobility problems themselves. That’s what drove the development of this feature Travel Statistics.

It’s rolling out in the U.S. starting today, but also in 30 other countries at the same time, including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, and more, with additional markets getting the update soon.

Uber may be facing a host of very challenging problems at the top, including a big gap in its senior leadership, and across its workplace culture, but it’s still got to focus on product iteration if it wants to retain its market leadership, and this feature broadens its potential customer base to a previously hard to reach user group, via the proxy of existing riders china vpn.
