Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 4 small potatoes or 2 large
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 cup flour
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Boil your potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until they're fully tender.
- Roughly mash potatoes and let them cool completely (it helps if you spread them out on a cutting board or on a floured surface).
- Once potatoes are cooled, add them to a bowl and mix in the egg and most of the flour (about ¾ cup) until you get a rough dough. Knead dough and add in the remaining bit of flour until you get a smoother dough.
- Shape the dough into a long rectangle and divide into strips. Roll each strip out a bit and cut into pieces about an inch thick (or a bit smaller if you'd like).
- Boil the gnocchi until they rise to the surface of the water, about 5 minutes, then drain and serve in any sauce you enjoy.
