Gnocchi Ingredients
Method
Gnocchi Preparation
Make the Dough
Peel the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and use a fork to create ridges.
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve
Toss the gnocchi with olive oil and your choice of traditional sauce (like marinara or pesto) before serving.
