Ingredients

    10 medium sized potatoes
    1 cup wheat flour
    1 egg
    1 tsp baking soda
    salt

Directions

makes 4 servings, about 1kg of potatos

Instructions:
Cook potatoes, peel and mash afterwards. It works only with certain varieties of potatoes, they must be floury, or it won't work. Also, the mashed potatoes should be homogenous, without visible chunks.
Put the flour on a wooden surface, and the mashed potatoes on top. Make a little hollow at the top, pour the egg into it. Now put flour on your hands and knead the dough, adding flour while kneading so it doesn't stick to hands or the surface.
Divide into 4 balls, and make 2 long rolls out of the dough, about 1 inch thick. With a knife, cut each into about 20 pieces.

In a large pot, bring salt water to a very aggressive boil and throw a handful of Gnocchi in. They will rise to the surface when cooked, in about 2 minutes. Cook all the Gnocchi and serve with pasta sauce.
