Ingredients

3 lbs russet potatoes .
1 tsp salt .
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper .
2-3 tbsps vegetable oil (optional) .
2 c all-purpose flour .
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 400F degrees F.
Step #2 Prick potatoes all over with fork.
Step #3 Bake 70 mins or until soft.
Step #4 Cool 10 mins or until easy to handle.
Step #5 Lightly flour baking sheet.
Step #6 Slice potatoes in half & scoop flesh into large bowl.
Step #7 Mash until no lumps remain, but potatoes are still fluffy.
Step #8 Fold in flour, egg, salt & pepper.
Step #9 Divide dough into 8 balls & transfer to lightly floured work surface.
Step #10 Roll 1 dough ball into long strand about 3/4" thick.
Step #11 Cut into 1" pieces, now is the time to get fancy making indentations with a fork if you so choose, & place pieces on prepared baking sheet (although this is not mentioned in magazine, so that your gnocchi will have the pretty, familiar pattern -- just roll each 1" piece between your palms a bit then press with the tines of a fork before placing on baking sheet).
Step #12 Repeat with remaining balls of dough.
Step #13 Bring large pot of water to a boil.
Step #14 Drop quarter of cut gnocchi into pot & cook 2 mins, or until gnocchi rise to surface (my gnocchi were extremely fat, so I let them boil about a min after they popped to the surface & they seemed to come out fine).
Step #15 Transfer to serving bowl, & repeat with remaining gnocchi.
Step #16 If serving later, toss with vegetable oil to keep gnocchi from sticking together.
Step #17 Otherwise, top this with desired sauce & serve.
Step #18 I found that I only needed half of these for a VERY FILLING dinner for two.
Step #19 The other half kept quite well in the fridge tossed with oil to be served with another sauce on another night; I just reheated them by boiling for a couple of mins.
Step #20 The good news is that these can be frozen quite easily.
Step #21 While they are spread on their baking sheet, freeze them through, then pop them in freezer bags until needed.
Step #22 To heat, place frozen gnocchi in boiling water for 7 to 8 mins.
Step #23 Make a lot & have homemade yumminess whenever you want.
