This Traditional Italian Gnocchi recipe uses simple ingredients to create soft, fluffy potato dumplings perfect with any sauce.

Ingredients

Russet Potatoes:

  • 2 large russet potatoes

All-Purpose Flour:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

Egg (Optional):

  • 1 large egg

Salt:

  • To taste

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes: Place unpeeled potatoes in salted water and boil until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Rice Potatoes: Peel and rice the potatoes onto a floured surface.
  3. Mix Dough: Add salt and, if desired, the egg. Gradually mix in flour until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
  4. Shape Gnocchi: Divide dough into sections. Roll each section into a log, cut into pieces, and form ridges with a fork.
  5. Cook Gnocchi: Boil water and cook gnocchi until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Notes

  • Choose Starchy Potatoes: Russet or Idaho potatoes work best.
  • Add Flour Gradually: Use just enough flour to prevent sticking—excess will make the gnocchi dense.
  • Egg-Free Option: Omit the egg for a softer, traditional gnocchi texture.
