Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    Rice or mash the peeled potatoes into a large bowl. Allow them to cool completely. Add the egg and salt to the potatoes and mix gently. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overwork the dough.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into sections. Roll each section into a long rope about ¾ inch thick. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to gently press each piece to create ridges, which will hold the sauce better.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. They are done when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
