Description
Gnocchi is an Italian potato dumpling. When it’s made correctly, it is pillowy soft and fluffy. My regular gnocchi recipe uses steamed and riced potato, gently incorporated with eggs and flour. However, this week I made a huge pot of mashed potatoes and it lasted the grilled salmon for several days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes, chilled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour + more as needed.
- 1 large egg
Instructions
In a bowl mix the mashed potato, egg and ½ cup of flour until combined.
Slowly add in additional flour until a soft, but not sticky dough is formed.
Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a log.
Cut each log into 1 inch pieces.
Boil in lightly salted water until they float and then remove from the water.
Cook in tomato or pesto sauce or browned butter and parmesan. Salt and pepper to taste.
