Gnocchi

Cook the Potatoes

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.

Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly, then peel them.

Mash the Potatoes

Pass the peeled potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. Spread the mashed potatoes out on a clean surface and let them cool completely.

Make the Dough

Sprinkle the cooled mashed potatoes with the flour and salt.

Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg.

Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Shape the Gnocchi

Lightly dust your work surface with flour.

Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) in diameter.

Cut the ropes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.

If desired, you can roll each piece over the tines of a fork to create ridges.

Cook the Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi and transfer them to a plate.
