Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, and salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the egg. Mix gently until just combined.
- On a floured surface, divide dough into four pieces and roll each into strips about half an inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Optionally, use a fork to shape gnocchi by creating ridges on each piece. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to plates and serve with your favorite sauce.
