Homemade Gnocchi

Gnocchi is the go-to birthday dinner in our family. I prefer mine tossed in butter and herbs with parmesan. My Mom loves it tossed with fresh tomato sauce, a bit of cream, and fresh mozzarella.

Homemade Gnocchi recipe instruction

1. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto a flat counter top. Create a well.
2. Crack your egg into the well.
3. Using one hand, slowly combine the egg into the mashed potatoes. Keeping your other hand dry, season the mashed potatoes with salt and start adding a handful of flour at a time. Fold the flour into the dough until it no longer sticks to your hand.
4. Wash your wet hand. Cut the dough into quarters.
5. Roll the dough into ½-inch-thick logs. Cut into 1-inch-long pieces. Drop into boiling salted water.
6. When the gnocchi float to the top they are finished cooking. Toss in butter or your favorite sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Homemade Gnocchi recipe tips and tricks

• When I cook my gnocchi I like to use a small sauce pot or a deep saute pan. The gnocchi risks over-cooking in a deep pan with a longer distance to the top.
