Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour, plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- Put the potatoes, egg and flour in a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Dust your counter with a little flour. Pick up the potato dough and form it into a ball, rolling it on the counter. It should hold together without being too sticky – you can add a little extra flour if you need to.
- Pull the ball into four sections, and then roll each section into a rope – you want it to be about one inch thick or so.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the ropes into 1 inch long gnocchis. If you want to get extra fancy, you can gently press the tine of a fork into each one to get those classic gnocchi lines – they help hold the sauce!
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt it heavily. Carefully drop in the gnocchi and cook them until they are done – they will float to the surface when they are finished cooking. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon.
- Divide them among plates and serve with tomato sauce, butter, pesto or whatever sauce your heart desires!
