Homemade Gnocchi

Easy, soft and tasty gnocchi!
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings: 6
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb potatoes (white is best)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg

Method
 

  1. Peel potatoes. Cut potatoes in half or quarters, and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Mash.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add potatoes and egg. Mix to form a soft dough. It should not be sticky. If using red potatoes, you may need a bit more flour due to moisture content.
  3. On a floured surface, roll into ropes and cut into 3/4"/ 2cm sections. Toss with flour to prevent sticking. Let rest 20 minutes.
  4. Boil for 5 minutes in salted water or soup, until the gnocchi float.
  5. Gnocchi may be frozen before cooking for later use, by freezing in a single layer before putting in a container or freezer bag.
