Easily make flavorful Italian potato dumplings, gnocchi, with eggs, flour, and potatoes. Freezer-friendly and perfect with various sauces.
Ingredients:
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 lbs whole baking potatoes
  • 2 beaten egg yolks
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • Your favorite pasta sauce (for example, this basic, delicious tomato sauce )
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Use a fork to poke holes around each potato for even cooking. Bake the potatoes in their skins for about an hour until tender. Allow them to cool on a rack, then cut them open to release steam and cool down faster.
  • Mash and fluff the warm potatoes by scooping them out of their skins and using a fork to achieve a light and fluffy texture in a large bowl. For an even smoother consistency, consider passing the potatoes through a potato ricer if available.
  • Combine flour, beaten egg yolks, and a pinch of salt, mixing by hand until a pliable ball of dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Shape dough into cylinders: Dust work area with flour. Take a piece of dough and gently roll into a 3/4-inch diameter cylinder using your fingertips with light outward pressure, being careful not to press down.
  • Cut the dough tubes into 1-inch pieces. Press a piece with a fork or fingertip to create an indentation for sauce. Place the gnocchi on a floured baking pan or wax paper.
  • Cook the gnocchi: Add the gnocchi gently to simmering salted water. Once they float to the surface, remove and drain. Serve warm. Repeat with the rest of the gnocchi.
  • Drizzle your favorite heated pasta sauce over the gnocchi and serve promptly.
