Basic Homemade Gnocchi

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes boil the potatoes with their peels on and THEN remove the peels before you mash; so much easier!--about 5-6 potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups flour plus 1/2 cup as needed
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • Mix the potatoes and egg together well.
  • Add in 3/4 cup of the flour and mix well.
  • Continue adding in flour until the desired consistency is met.
  • Roll out your dough on a well-floured surface into long logs and cut.
  • Cook immediately or freeze.

Notes

Rather than rolling out your dough and cutting, try using a piping bag to pipe your gnocchi.
To Cook:
Bring lightly salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi.
Boil about 3-4 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface.
