Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 large Egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions 

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
  3. Add the flour, egg, and salt to the potatoes. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about ½ inch thick.
  6. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite sauce.
