Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 Medium Russet Potatoes
  • 1-1/2 C All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 Egg

Instructions
 

  • Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Let potatoes boil for 20-25 minutes, or until a fork can easily be inserted
  • Drain and cool potatoes
  • Once cool, remove skins of the potatoes and mash potatoes
  • Add salt and pepper
  • Add 1 egg and combine it with the potatoes.
  • Knead the dough: Add flour until the dough loses stickiness and becomes a solid mass.
  • Slice dough into 4 parts, take one part and roll it out into a long rope, about an inch wide.
  • Using an overturned fork, slide each gnocchi square over the fork prongs till they look like a corkscrew.
  • Boil a large pot of water. Add salt. Once boiling, add gnocchi. Remove them as soon as they float and transfer them to a pan with your preferred sauce. Since my family loves my marinara sauce, simply- I add a hefty serving of warm sauce on top of my gnocchi. Serve with love.
