Total time 2 hours

Gnocchi preparation:

Ingredients for 4 people:

  • 1 kg of potatoes
  • 300 g of 00 flour
  • 1 egg
  • salt

Preparation:

Boil the potatoes in water and then peel them.
Try to use powdery potatoes that facilitate the preparation.
Crush the potatoes in a bowl.
At this point on a work surface put the flour and create a hole in the center where you add the egg, potatoes and a little 'salt.
Knead with your hands until all is mixed, remember that if the dough starts to be too sticky add flour.
Then make the strips with the dough about 2 cm thick and start to cut the gnocchi.
Place a little flour under it to prevent it from sticking.
Your gnocchi are now ready.

Tips:

If you put the gnocchi in the fridge they could become harder. I recommend putting them in the fridge with a damp cloth on them if you do not do them immediately but the next day.
