Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly before peeling.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    Pass the peeled potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Be careful not to over-knead.

  4. 4

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and roll each piece on a fork to create ridges.

  5. 5

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss the cooked gnocchi with olive oil or your favorite sauce. Serve warm.
