Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 17.6 ounces Potato
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • Extra Flour to dust working space

Instruction

  • Peel your Potatoes and boil them.
  • Once boiled mash your potatoes well.
  • Add salt and the egg to the Potato Mash. Mix the content well.
  • Add in the flour a bit at a time and mix it in as well until you have used up all the flour.
  • Work out dough to create a smooth dough.
  • Dust your working space with flour and cut your dough into 4. Use one piece at a time. Roll out to create the two first shape option.
  • Shape into Pillows or press down with a fork or pick from your dough for the third option, and press the dough on the fork to roll a gnocchi shape (see video).
  • Pick a shape and use up all the dough. The easiest is the pillow shape, the prettiest the elaborate roll over the fork shape
  • Keep water to boil with salt.
  • Once the water boils, drop your gnocchi into the boiling water. Fill up but don't overcrowd. So you will need to work in batches to cook all the gnocchi.
  • Wait until the Gnocchis are cooked. They will swim on the surface when ready. The cooking takes about 5 mins.
  • Keep a colander in a larger bowl and take out the gnocchi and place them into the colander.
  • Then you can use the gnocchi in a dish or soup or simply place into a skillet with butter and parmesan.
