Basic Potato Gnocchi

Image
Basic Potato Gnocchi Ingredients 1 kg potatoes 200g plain flour 1 egg Salt Method Steam the potato until soft and then mash while still hot. Stir in the flour, add the egg and salt and kneed or a soft dough.  On a floured bench top take a piece of dough and roll into a long roll, cut into small pieces about 2 cm long. Repeat until all dough is cut. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and gently drop the gnocchi in. When the gnocchi rises to the top remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Add your favourite sauce and serve. Hint: be careful with the quantities of flour to dough - too much flour will make the gnocchi hard and to much potato with make it too soft and it will fall apart when cooking.
