Ingredients:

  • 10 oz potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Peel the potatoes, rinse and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place a steamer basket in a large sauce pan. Add about 1 1/2 cups water and set the pan over high heat. Steam the cubed potatoes until very tender (about 20 minutes). Remove the steamer basket and allow the potatoes to cool until they are no more than warm to the touch.
  3. Force all of the steamed potatoes through a potato ricer into a large mixing bowl. (If you don?t have a potato ricer, the potatoes must be chopped until there are no lumps. Do not over mash them or the gnocchi will be pasty.)
  4. Add 3 tablespoons of the flour to the potatoes with the egg, salt, nutmeg and black pepper. Mix together using a fork. The mixture will take on a crumbly consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour and blend well.
  5. Knead the dough gently until all the flour is blended in. Stop kneading when the flour is incorporated.
  6. After the dough is smooth, cut it into 2 equal pieces. Place one tablespoon of flour on a cutting board and roll each piece of dough into a rope about as big around as your thumb.
  7. Cut the ropes in 1/2 inch pieces (about ten per roll) and then roll the dumpling over the tines of a fork to shape the ridges of the gnocchi.
  8. Boil at least 4 quarts of water and add the gnocchi no more than 2 servings at a time (20 gnocchi).
  9. As they float to the top of the water, they are done. Remove them and add to prepared sauce.
