Instructions

 

• Place the potatoes, unpeeled, in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and beaten egg. Mix gently until the ingredients come together to form a soft dough.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
• Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch long. Optionally, you can use a fork to create ridges on each piece by rolling it gently against the tines.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon or spider skimmer, transfer the cooked gnocchi to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool slightly.
• Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce or toss them in melted butter and herbs. Enjoy this taste of Italy with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
