Gnocchi Dough

For Cooking

Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the Russet potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and mash them in a large bowl until smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the all-purpose flour, egg, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be soft but not sticky.

  4. 4

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

Cooking the Gnocchi

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Use about 2 tablespoons of salt.

  2. 6

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Add the gnocchi to the boiling water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  3. 7

    Sauté the Gnocchi

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat, toss with chopped fresh basil, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
