Easy Gnocchi
Pasta Prices up? Take your leftover baked potatoes and turn them into this Easy DIY 4 ingredient gnocchi. Gnocchi is not like other pasta. It’s way easier to make from scratch.
- Total Time: 25min
- Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups well-mashed baked potatoes
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup “00” or all-purpose flour (+ extra for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh or 1 tsp dried herbs of choice
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- To make the dough, in a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and the egg yolk and stir until combined. Add the flour, herbs, and salt and continue to stir until you have a fairly dry dough. Depending on how wet or dry your mash is to begin with, you may need to add more flour.
- To form the gnocchi, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. Using your hands, roll a portion into a long snake until it is about 1⁄2 inch in diameter. With a floured knife, divide it into approximately 1-inch-long gnocchi. If you like, you can press each gnocchi lightly with the back of a fork to create lines.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and simmer the gnocchi until they rise to the top, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.
