1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and place them in a pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, approximately 30-40 minutes.
2
Mash the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Peel the skin off and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool completely.
3
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, salt, nutmeg, and 1 cup of flour. Mix until a dough forms, adding additional flour as needed to prevent stickiness.
4
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into 4 portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope about ¾ inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to press down lightly on each piece to create ridges.
5
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
