Ingredients
Method
Cook and mash the potatoes
- Bake or boil the potatoes until tender.
- Peel while warm and rice or mash finely.
- Cool until just warm.
Form the dough
- Mix with flour, egg and salt to a soft dough — add flour sparingly so they stay light.
- Roll into ropes; cut into pieces; optional ridges on a fork.
Boil
- Boil in salted water until they float (1–2 minutes), then 30 seconds more.
- Lift out with a slotted spoon.
Serve
- Toss immediately with sauce or butter.
- Serve hot.
Serving
Toss with butter, sage or preferred sauce as soon as they float.
Storage
Freeze uncooked gnocchi on a tray then bag. Boil from frozen.
