Gnocchi
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium red potatoes
- 4-5 cups flour
- 4 eggs
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cook the potatoes and then push through a ricer.
- Place flour on cutting board and then place the riced potatoes on top.
- Finally, crack open four eggs and drop contents onto flour and riced potatoes.
- Knead mixture until it is a heavy consistency.
- take a small amount of the kneaded mixture and roll into a snake-like shape about ¾-inch diameter and about 6 inches long. Then cut off pieces about an inch or less long.
- Pinch each of the pieces to make small indentations.
- Repeat the steps for the rest of the kneaded mixture.
- Place all the pieces on a baking sheet and place in freezer until pieces are frozen. (You can then place the pieces in a freezer bag to keep in the freezer until ready to use.)
- When ready, drop gnocchi pieces into boiling water until they rise to the surface (about 5-6 minutes).
- Scoop out of water, using a colander. Serve with your favorite pasta sauce.
