- 500 g potatoes
- 150 g wheat flour
- 1 egg
- Salt to taste
- Sauce to accompany (optional)
How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Boil the potatoes in their skin until tender; then peel them and make a fine puree without lumps.
- Let it cool slightly and add the egg along with a pinch of salt; mix well until integrated.
- Add the flour little by little and knead gently until you obtain a soft, homogeneous and slightly sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into equal portions, form cylinders approximately 2 cm thick and cut into small 2 cm pieces.
- Pass each piece with a fork to create the characteristic mark on the surface that helps the sauce adhere better.
- Boil plenty of salted water and cook the gnocchi until they float, approximately 2–3 minutes, ensuring they do not stick together.
- Drain carefully and serve immediately, accompanied by your sauce of choice, and sprinkle with grated cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
