Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: In salted water, boil quartered russet potatoes until fork-tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly before mashing.
- Make the Dough: Combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix gently until just combined to keep the dough light.
- Shape the Gnocchi: On a floured surface, divide dough into portions and roll into ropes about ¾ inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces and use a fork to create ridges.
- Cook the Gnocchi: Boil salted water in a large pot. Add gnocchi in batches; they are ready when they float (about 2-3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Serve: Toss with your favorite sauce like marinara or sage butter, and garnish with fresh parsley.
