Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before peeling.

Drain and Cool

Mash the peeled potatoes until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

Mash the Potatoes

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, egg, and salt.

Gently knead the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. Be careful not to overwork it.

Knead the Dough

Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each portion into a long rope, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Shape the Gnocchi

Use a fork to gently press each piece of dough to create the classic gnocchi shape.

Form Gnocchi

In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat and add the cherry tomatoes. Cook until they start to burst.

Sauté Cherry Tomatoes

Add salt and pepper to taste, and cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes are soft and saucy.

Season the Sauce

Stir in the fresh basil leaves and cook for an additional minute to enhance the flavor.

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

Boil Water

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
