Introduction

I was very intimidated by the concept of making homeade gnocchi; but it was very simple and turned out wonderfully! Pair with your sauce of choice, I used a simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, and diced tomatos. Yum!

Ingredients

    8-10 medium potatoes, mashed (reserve potato water)
    3 cups flour (estimate, see note below)
    tsp. salt

    Sauce of your choice (not included in nutritionals) I prefer a marinara sauce.

Directions

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.

    The Gnocchi was very good. I cut the recipe into a third and there were still leftovers. I think that this recipe has a lot more than 10 servings. - 6/5/10

    Incredible!
    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

    Incredible!
    Very good recipe! It is so easy to prep, takes next to no time and the fork rolling part is simply practice. I didn't need ANY water, the 1:1 with potato and flour worked fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I used 2 potatoes, resulting in 1 cup. (too much for one person) - 5/16/12
