Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly before peeling.

2

Make the Dough

Pass the peeled potatoes through a ricer or mash them until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the riced potatoes, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a soft dough forms.

3

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 gently press down on each piece to create ridges.

4

Cook the Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. Once they float to the surface, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

5

Serve

Serve the gnocchi hot with your choice of sauce, such as marinara, pesto, or butter and sage.
