Gnocchi


Ingredients
  • 2 potatoes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and add to pot. Cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash with a for or potato masher.

  2. Combine 1 cup mashed potato, flour and egg in a large bowl. (Add in flour 1/4 cup at a time) Knead until dough forms a ball. Shape small portions of the dough into long "snakes". On a floured surface, cut snakes into half-inch pieces.

  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in Gnocchi and cook until they have risen to the top about 2-3 minutes. Drain and serve with your favorite sauce!

This is my first attempt at making this. I was very pleased with how it turned out. We put a garlic tomato sauce with chicken over it. This is a dish that Kyle loves from his mission, and he enjoyed it a lot! This will be one I make again.

  3. Made it last night. :) Except I used an instant pack of butter & herb mashed potatoes and put them in homemade creamy chicken soup to boil. It was freaking delicious!
