Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Boil the whole Russet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.
- Mash the peeled potatoes until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt to form a soft dough. Avoid overworking the mixture.
- Divide the dough and roll it into ropes about half an inch wide. Cut these ropes into bite-sized pieces.
- Use a fork to create ridges on each piece to help sauce adhere.
- Boil gnocchi in salted water until they float to the surface—this indicates they are cooked through.
