Ingredients

3 pounds russet potatos

2 cups all purpose flour

1 large egg

1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

black pepper

olive oil

Directions

place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. bring to a boil and reduce heat. simmer for about 45 minutes. drain.

start another pot of water to boil.

rinse the skins off potatoes under cool water then pass through a vegetable mill or a ricer.

make a well with the potatos and cover with the flour. add the egg in the center of the well and put the salt and pepper over it. beat the egg with a fork until a dough forms.

now sprinkle the basil all over the potato and dough and work until it is all a soft dough about four minutes. cut dough into six even pieces.

roll the pieces of dough out into ropes about 3/4" wide and cut the ropes into 1" pieces.

prepare an ice bath and boil the gnocchi in batches until it floats, about one or two minutes. with a slotted spoon transfer the boiled gnocchi into the ice bath and start the next batch of gnocchis into the boiling water.

now take the gnoccis out of the ice bath and place them into a bowl with a glug of olive oil. make sure they are coated and repeat until all gnoccis are cooked.

serve as is or with a red sauce.
