Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes
- 100g all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Boil the Potatoes:
- Start by boiling the potatoes with the skin on in salted water. This will take about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
-
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until a dough forms. You can use your hands for this step to ensure everything is evenly combined.
-
Shape the Gnocchi:
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a ball.
- Roll the ball of dough into a long, thin rope, about 1 centimeter in diameter.
- Using a knife, cut the rope into small pieces, each about 3 centimeters long. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
-
Cook the Gnocchi:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water.
- Cook the gnocchi for 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the surface. This indicates that they are cooked and ready to be removed from the water.
-
Serve:
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to serving plates or bowls.
- Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite sauce, such as tomato sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
-
Storage Tips:
- If you have leftover gnocchi, you can freeze them for later use. Simply place the uncooked gnocchi on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- When ready to cook frozen gnocchi, there’s no need to thaw them first. Simply drop them into boiling water straight from the freezer, making sure to separate them as you add them to the pot.
