1
Boil the Potatoes
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
4
Shape the Gnocchi
On a floured surface, divide the dough into small pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about ¾ inch thick and cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
5
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, cooking until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
