Method
First Things First
- Put on some of your favorite music.
- Peel and boil potatoes in a large pot (like a pasta pot) of salted water
- Drain potatoes and mash with a potato masher or a fork
- Taste and add salt if necessary
- Add flour and egg and combine by hand
Making the Gnocchi
- Reboil water (add some water to the pot, if necessary)
- On a floured surface, roll out 3 strands of dough
- Slice strands into individual pieces (see photo)
- Add approximately 10 gnocchi at a time to the boiling water
- They will float to the top when they are ready (around 1 minute)
- Remove cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon
- While gnocchi are boiling, roll out and cut other strands and keep the cooking process going
- The gnocchi can be served by pouring a heated sauce on top. Or, they can be transferred to a large pan and heated in the sauce of your choice.

Notes
Since potatoes come in all shapes and sizes, use a digital scale to weigh out the potatoes (and flour) in grams for precision. And here’s another tip! I tape a piece of baking paper down on my counter top or table and work directly on there. It makes for a super fast and easy clean up!
