I'm a carb and potato kind-of-girl. Might as well slap the two together!

Ingredients

30 mins
6 servings
  1. 2 mediumpotatoes, peeled and diced.
  2. 2 cupall-purpose flour (and half a cup for work surface)
  3. 1egg
  4. 1 tspsalt and pepper ( I'm using pink salt and peppercorn)
  5. 1 tspeach: garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley (I'm using a pre-blended mix)
  6. 1water to boil potatoes in

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork.

  2. 2

    When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a 'well' in the center.

  3. 3

    Add your smashed potatoes in the 'well' you've made, and add your seasonings.

  4. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  8. 8

    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. 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. 10

    Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you're done!

  11. 11

    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.
