Homemade Gnocchi

---

How to make them like nonna 🍽

• Step 1

  Cook the potato by boiling or baking; just be sure to let moisture steam out of the mash afterwards so your gnocchi dough won't be soggy.

• Step 2

  Press cooked potatoes through a potato ricer for a smooth consistency.

• Step 3

  The amount of flour you use depends on how much water your potato absorbs during cooking: Boiling absorbs the most and baking or microwaving absorbs the least. The dough should be dry to the touch but still hold together.

• Step 4

  Cut the dough into quarters and roll each quarter into "snakes" with the palms of your hands rather than your fingertips. Cut the snakes into ¾-inch pieces. Roll each piece against the back of a fork to impress the signature ridges.

  

• Step 5

  Boil homemade gnocchi until they rise and float. Remove with a slotted spoon, let drain, and serve.
