potato gnocchi

Step 1

Wash the potatoes with their skin under fresh water.

Step 2

Cook them in a large pot with plenty of water (from 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes). When they are cooked, drain and peel them.

Step 3

Place the flour on your work surface and make a well in the center then put the potatoes in a potato masher and mash-up.

Step 4

Add a pinch of fine salt and 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg

Step 5

Mix the ingredients with your hands, quickly and for a short time.

Step 6

Make a ball and absolutely do not add flour. Now you can work on a wooden surface. Cut a piece of dough and place it on the floured surface.

Step 7

With your hand make a long roll of dough as thick as a finger. Slice the roll every 2 cm, so as to obtain small cylinders.

Step 8

Now you have to use a gnocchi board previously floured: slide your little gnocchi over the gnocchi board by pressing lightly with your thumb.

Step 9

Let rest gnocchi at room temperature for about 20/30 minutes before cooking.
