To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have potato gnocchi using 6 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Potato Gnocchi:

Gnocchi-making takes practice, patience, and persistence. At their best, potato gnocchi can be light and delicate. Gnocchi (pronounced NYO-kee), small, tender dumplings made with potatoes, are an excellent alternative. When made properly, they're light and tender, with a slight chew.
Instructions to make Potato Gnocchi:
- Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork.
- When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a 'well' in the center.
- Add your smashed potatoes in the 'well' you've made, and add your seasonings.
- Start folding the potatoes into the flour, starting with a fork. Once it starts to come together, make another 'well' in the center of the potato-flour pile. Add your egg, (I should've beated it first before adding it) and knead the potato flour into the egg.
- DO NOT OVER-MIX!!! Once the dough comes together, STOP. The dough should be slightly sticky and that is fine. Sprinkle a bit of flour to your work space and roll out the dough into ropes.
- Roll the rope into half-inch thickness. It will double in size when you boil it, so be aware! We're not making dumplings here, bruh!
- I cut my rope in half for easy cutting. Placed my dough ropes side by side, and sliced them into about a quarter of an inch to half-inch slices.
- Some people like to get fancy and make little designs on their gnocchi, like rolling them–individually–with a fork or tool; or even going in and slightly denting each one into "dimples". Honestly, I just want to eat. So, we're having plain pillow-shapes! :)
- If you're weird, like me, you'd go and wash out that same pot you boiled potatoes in, and fill with more water to boil the little gnocchi pillows in. I pieced in a gnocchi at a time, so they don't stick together while they boil.
- Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you're done!
- If you want to save some gnocchi for another day, these guys freeze well. Just lay them in a single layer on a plate, flash-freeze for about half an hour, then remove from the plate and throw them in a zip-lock bag for space-saving.
