Ingredients

• 1 kg of Potatoes
• 300 gr of Flour 00
• 1 Egg
• Go out to taste
• 500 gr of peeled tomatoes (for the sauce)
• 2 purple onions

Preparation, step by step

Step 1:

• First of all, you have to wash the potatoes well and place them in a pot with water and let them cook.

Step 2:

• After draining the potatoes and cutting them in half to release all the steam and moisture.

Step 3:

• Once they are no longer steaming but are still warm, remove the skin.

Step 4:

• Next, pass the potatoes through a potato masher or sieve. It’s crucial that the potatoes are hot to make the process easier, as working with cold potatoes can be tricky.

Step 5:

• Add the flour, egg and salt to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.

Step 6:

• Begin kneading, first using a fork or wooden spoon, and then on a floured surface with your hands, until you have a smooth, uniform dough.
• Make sure you use just the right amount of flour, as adding too much will make the gnocchi tough.

Step 7: 

• Divide the dough into small portions and form them into sausages.

Step 8:

• Using a knife or whatever you prefer, cut the gnocchi into pieces approximately 2 cm long.

Step 9:

• Shape each piece of dough into a slightly rounded shape with your hands.

Step 10:

• Then, pass each piece of dough between the tines of a fork, pressing lightly with your fingers to create the classic striped texture that absorbs the sauce well. Alternatively, you can use a gnocchi grater if you have one.

Step 11: 

• While you form the gnocchi, place them on a floured tray or surface, spaced apart.

Step 12:

• Boil the gnocchi in salted water for about 3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Then remove them with a slotted spoon.

Step 13:

• Once cooked, drain them and serve them with your favorite sauce. A popular option is a tomato sauce with onion, accompanied by generous amounts of grated Parmesan cheese.

You are now ready to serve and enjoy this exquisite and traditional dish!

TIPS:

If you wish, you can make potato gnocchi without using eggs: the starch present in the potatoes will be enough to bind the dough.

Additionally, you can incorporate other ingredients into the dough, such as pumpkin or beets, to make colorful and visually stunning gnocchi.
