PREPARING the Dough for Perfect Gnocchi

To prepare your perfect gnocchi dough, follow our quick recipe. Start by boiling the potatoes, after removing any dirt and without peeling them.

Cook them for half an hour in lightly salted water, then peel and mash them. Immediately afterward, make a well in the center of the flour and crack the egg into the center, adding a pinch of salt and the mashed potatoes.

Knead the mixture, but without over-combining or over-thickening it. Shape the mixture into a ball and roll it out on a surface, punching out several small cylinders about a couple of centimeters long and about the thickness of a finger.

Continue making the gnocchi, placing them on a floured surface. Then boil them in plenty of salted water until they float to the surface.

Drain them in a colander and serve according to your recipe. Your Perfect Gnocchi Dough will create something amazing.
