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.
