How to Make Homemade Gnocchi

1. 1

   Boil Potatoes

   30 min

   Wash and boil unpeeled starchy potatoes until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes.

2. 2

   Mash Hot Potatoes

   10 min

   Peel the hot potatoes and pass them through a ricer or mash thoroughly until smooth.

3. 3

   Mix Dough

   15 min

   On a clean surface, combine the riced potatoes with flour, an egg, and a pinch of salt until just combined into a soft dough.

4. 4

   Roll & Cut Gnocchi

   20 min

   Divide the dough into sections, roll each into a ½-inch thick rope, and cut into ¾-inch pieces.

5. 5

   Shape Ridges

   20 min

   Gently roll each piece down the tines of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges, which will hold sauce better.

6. 6

   Boil Gnocchi

   Drop gnocchi into a pot of generously salted boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

7. 7
