Gnocchi-My own recipie

1           Pound potatoes russets
1/2        Cup flour
1           Egg Yolk (local medium egg)
1           Pinch of Salt

Makes enough for 2-3 people

Directions

  1. Bring water to simmer and place whole potatoes inside
  2. set timer for about 20-30 minutes
  3. Pull Potatoes out, peel off skin while holding it with towel, and Rice potatoes while hot. (if no ricer use a cheese grater or push through strainer using back of spoon).
  4. Let potatoes steam and slightly cool, put egg yolk inside and sprinkle on flour like snow on a mountain.
  5. Mix till it comes together and wallah! you got gnocchi dough.
  6. * hint if dough is too sticky that means you can add a small amount of flour more, a table spoon or so. But don't add a lot of flour! It makes your gnocchi gummy. No bueno! 
Watch videos on gnocchi for the rest or read other parts of the blog labeled gnocchi.

Buon appetito!
