So here was our Veteran’s Day project:
All these ingredients are very normal. The pastrami was from the Publix deli, and really, we couldn’t find any Yukon Gold potatoes, so we got Publix Gold potatoes, and had to use about 5 or 6 for the recipe, but that was fine. Also, I used kosher salt to bake the potatoes on (instead of the rock salt recommended). The recipe does take a while to make, but a lot of it is waiting, not active cooking time. Greg says this one of the top dishes we’ve ever made.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a small baking pan with rock salt. Pierce the potatoes with a fork and place on the salt. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until tender.
As soon as the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and pass them through a ricer into a bowl. Let the potatoes cool.
Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Stir the eggs, the 1 cup of flour and the kosher salt into the riced potatoes. Gently knead a few times to form a dough that just holds together. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 piece of the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut the rope into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer the gnocchi to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate the gnocchi for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Boil the gnocchi just until they rise to the surface of the water, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer to the ice water to chill, then drain on paper towels and pat dry. Transfer the gnocchi to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, cover and cook over moderate heat until translucent, 4 minutes. Add the celery, cover and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until richly browned, 15 minutes.
In a food processor, mince the pastrami. Add the pastrami to the skillet along with the water and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 hour.
In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the foam subsides, add half of the gnocchi and cook over moderate heat, turning, until browned all over, 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and gnocchi.
Spoon the sour cream onto 4 plates and top with the gnocchi and pastrami ragù. Garnish with the chives and serve.
