Potato Gnocchi
Ingredients:
3 cups cold mashed potatoes
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and mix well with flour to make a manageable dough.
The dough may need more or less flour depending upon potatoes & weather conditions.
Knead well and roll into lengths.
Cut pieces 2/3 inch lengths.
With floured fingers, roll between thumb & index finger & press a hollow into each roll.
Drop into rapidly boiling water(or chicken broth).
Boil about 10 minutes.
Drain and serve with tomato or meat sauce.
If cooked in broth, an herb/olive oil/parmesan cheese drizzle is very tasty.
These may be frozen until ready to use.
To do ahead, spread cooked/drained gnocchi on a cookie sheet and freeze.
Place frozen Gnocchi in a plastic bag. When ready to use drop frozen gnocchi in boiling, salted water.
