Potato gnocchi are a staple in Italian cooking. Top these with a rich tomato sauce, a pesto sauce, or a simple tomato sauce and mozzarella. <\/h2>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
Ingredients<\/div>\n
1<\/span> lb<\/span> potatoes<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> <\/span> egg<\/span><\/div>\n
5<\/span> oz<\/span> flour<\/span><\/div>\n
salt<\/span><\/div>\n
olive oil<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
Directions<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Wash potatoes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Place washed potatoes in a large pot and fill with water to cover<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add salt, 1 teaspoon for each quart of water<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cover pot and boil until tender about <\/i> 40 minutes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Remove one of the potatoes and push a knife tip into it. If it slides through easily, the potatoes are done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When cool, peel and mash the potatoes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Place the flour on a work surface, creating a small mound with a crater in the middle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Place the mashed potatoes in the crater, then make a well in the center of the potatoes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Break the eggs into the center of this well<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Using a fork, break the yolks, begin to beat the eggs gently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Work with your hands until the dough is soft and smooth. If dough is still sticky, dust the work surface with additional flour and continue kneading <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cut the dough into several pieces and roll them in the shape of a tube as thick as your finger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Make sure the working board always has plenty of flour to prevent from sticking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cut the gnocchi in the shape of a little square and poke the middle of it with your finger. (alternate method: You can also shape them differently by dipping a fork in flour and rolling a piece of dough really quickly on the fork. It\u2019s harder but you can get used to it really quickly. Both are delicious.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Boil them in a large pot with water, salt and olive oil. As soon as they begin to float remove them with a strainer spoon into a serving bowl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Dress with sauce and serve immediately<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[243],"class_list":["post-2590","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-first-courses"],"yoast_head":"\nPotato Gnocchi -
