1
Prepare the Potatoes
Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes.
2
Drain and Cool
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool for a few minutes until you can handle them. Peel the skins off while they are still warm.
3
Mash the Potatoes
Using a potato ricer or a masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool completely.
4
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the gnocchi light and fluffy.
5
Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into four equal sections. Roll each section into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, you can press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
6
Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. They are cooked when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
7
Serve
Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce or simply toss with butter, sage, and grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your homemade gnocchi!
