Homemade Gnocchi

Ingredients

1 lb

Potatoes (I used 1 russet and 1 Yukon gold)
100g

Flour
1

Whole egg
1 tsp

Salt

Instructions

Step 1

1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Add to pot and fill with cold water to 1 inch above potatoes

Step 2

2. Boil potatoes until fork tender, 5-10 mins. Strain and let cool for about 10 mins

Step 3

3. If you have a potato ricer, rice potatoes, otherwise mash them well

Step 4

4. Flour your work surface and make a wide, shallow well with the potatoes

Step 5

5. Add the egg and about 1/4-1/3 of the flour. Use a bench scraper to cut the flour and egg into the potatoes to make a dough. Continue adding flour and cutting until you have a soft, shaggy but not sticky dough. You may need more or less

Step 6

6. Use your hands to knead the dough into a smooth ball. Cover and let rest for about 10 mins

Step 7

7. Split dough into 6 equal chunks.

Step 8

8. Take one chunk at a time and leave the rest covered. Roll into a 1/2-inch rope on your floured work surface, and then cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Repeat for each chunk of dough

Step 9

9. Optionally shape the gnocchi by rolling against the tines of a fork

Step 10

10. When ready to cook, add gnocchi to pot of boiling water and cook until they float, 1-2 mins

Step 11

11. Add to your favorite sauce and enjoy

Additional Notes

Leftover gnocchi can be stored in the fridge for about 3 days, would recommend flouring them before storing to prevent them from sticking.

You may need more or less flour than listed, first time making them I used 80g and I think the dough could’ve stood just a little more flour
