Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork.
- 2
When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a 'well' in the center.
- 3
Add your smashed potatoes in the 'well' you've made, and add your seasonings.
- 4
Start folding the potatoes into the flour, starting with a fork. Once it starts to come together, make another 'well' in the center of the potato-flour pile. Add your egg, (I should've beated it first before adding it) and knead the potato flour into the egg.
- 5
DO NOT OVER-MIX!!! Once the dough comes together, STOP. The dough should be slightly sticky and that is fine. Sprinkle a bit of flour to your work space and roll out the dough into ropes.
- 6
Roll the rope into half-inch thickness. It will double in size when you boil it, so be aware! We're not making dumplings here, bruh!
- 7
I cut my rope in half for easy cutting. Placed my dough ropes side by side, and sliced them into about a quarter of an inch to half-inch slices.

Some people like to get fancy and make little designs on their gnocchi, like rolling them--individually--with a fork or tool; or even going in and slightly denting each one into "dimples". Honestly, I just want to eat. So, we're having plain pillow-shapes! :)
- 9
If you're weird, like me, you'd go and wash out that same pot you boiled potatoes in, and fill with more water to boil the little gnocchi pillows in. I pieced in a gnocchi at a time, so they don't stick together while they boil.
- 10
Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you're done!

If you want to save some gnocchi for another day, these guys freeze well. Just lay them in a single layer on a plate, flash-freeze for about half an hour, then remove from the plate and throw them in a zip-lock bag for space-saving.

Potato Gnocchi Potato Gnocchi
I referred to a recipe in a German cookery book and changed the amount of ingredients to suit my taste.Gnocchi can be served with just olive oil and parmesan cheese. I like it with melted butter with sage, and it also goes well with cheese sauce, tomato sauce or cream sauce. After you get used to making gnocchi, you can adjust the texture to your liking. Add less flour if you prefer soft gnocchi. If you like them harder, add more flour. For 2 servings. Recipe by Lila

Potato Gnocchi Potato Gnocchi
I didn't want them to turn out like dumplings, so I didn't use much flour. They are soft and a little difficult to work with, but the low flour content is what makes them so tasty.They don't contain much flour, so they will dissolve if you over-boil them. Remove them from the water as soon as they have boiled. User ryusachi says it is fine to freeze them, and user witch cake mix says they will keep in the fridge in oil for three days.

I wanted to use-up the small potatoes that have been sitting in the fridge.Pressing down with a fork is to flatten the gnocchi and to make grooved patterns so that they cook faster and mix with the sauce easier. You can omit this step if you'd like.Please add a little flour if the dough seems to be too soft to knead. Recipe by mildsevene -
