Instructions
- Scrub and rinse the unpeeled potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are covered. Cook over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and tender in the center.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before peeling. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and pass them through a potato ricer (or a food strainer with fine mesh) into a large mixing bowl. Add the beaten egg to the mashed potatoes and stir well with a fork.
- Sift all-purpose flour and salt over the potato mixture and continue mixing until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Quickly knead and roll the dough with your hands and a bench scraper until it becomes smooth and less sticky. (Dust with one tablespoon of flour if the dough becomes too sticky.) The dough should be very soft and light at this point.
- Round the dough and divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide, long rope and cut it into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) squares. Transfer the gnocchi to a parchment-lined baking pan and dust with flour to prevent stickiness. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Cook the gnocchi within 30 minutes at room temperature, or store them in the freezer for the best texture.
