Ingredients
8-10 medium potatoes, mashed (reserve potato water)3 cups flour (estimate, see note below)tsp. saltSauce of your choice (not included in nutritionals) I prefer a marinara sauce.
1. Boil peeled and diced potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and reserve potato water.
2. Mash potatoes throuroughly and place on flour dusted surface.
3. Add the equivilant amount of flour to the amount of mashed potatoes; my recipe yielded 3 cups of mashed potatoes so I used 3 cups of flour. Add salt and potato water as needed to moisten dough.
4. Knead dough for 5-8 minutes until combined.
5. Seperate dough into 8 equal parts. Roll sections between hands to the size of your thumb.
6. Cut 1/2 - 1 inch sections and press with fork, pinch ends closed and lay on flour dusted surface until all are complete.
8. Drop one by one into boiling salted water 20 at a time until they rise to the surface, then remove with slotted spoon and serve with sauce.

Super easy! Your hands will get sticky & flour will be all over your counter. But it's 2 ingreds (+ water). Rolling them was also easy, think silly putty. Someone said they taste like glue. You have to put a sauce on them. Eating them plain would be like eating pasta plain. Used WW flour & it worked - 7/29/12

I gave this recipe 3 stars, though it would probably be a 4 if it weren't for user error-- this was my very first time making gnocchi. Very easy recipe until you get to the fork-rolling part. I had to find a video to show me how and I still messed it up. Husband doesn't seem to like it too much- - 9/20/10

Great recipe! Took me a little longer, but now that I know what I'm doing, I'm sure I will make it more quickly next time. Got rave reviews by all of my housemates! Great recipe to make in advance that can be cooked in just a few minutes. I will definitely be making this one again. - 8/11/08
