Gnocchi

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the Russet potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let cool, then peel and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into smaller pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and press gently with a fork to create ridges.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
