Ingredients

How to make it

  • Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water on medium heat.
  • Use even sized potatoes so they cook evenly
  • When tender drain and while still hot mash and put them on the board.
  • Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and put in the salt and eggs.
  • Then pour on the flour and mix well to get a firm dough that does not stick to your hands.
  • The amount of flour will depend on how moist the potato mixture is.
  • Keep more flour on hand sometimes you use more.Knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes, cut off a piece of dough and roll it into a sausage shape on a floured board.
  • Cut off in 1 inch slices, roll into balls and flour well.
  • Take a box grater and roll the dumpling up the small holed part.
  • Put a large pan of water on to boil, when boiling salt it well, potatoes love salt.put in a few at a time so they don't stick together.
  • When they float to the top remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm in a casserole dish.
  • Do this till all are cooked, pour over the gnocchi hot tomato sauce or your favorite pasta sauce and toss gently with a wooden spoon so they do not break.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • NOTES
  • You can also serve these with meat sauce. If you have a big enough pot you can add them all at once to boil. I like using the grater to shape them
  • I put this serves three, but it depends how big or small you shape them. You can make a meal of them alone, or as I do I make a salad to go along with them.,sometimes I will serve them with some kind of meat.
  • Porkchops are my choice, they can be used as a main dish or side dish. They freeze well, put them on a cookie sheet to freeze when frozen put them in a Ziploc freezer bag.
