• doses: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 1 hour
• tempo total: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredientes

4 russet potatoes (2 1/2 lbs)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 egg

1 heaping teaspoon salt

Instruções

Cook Potatoes

Add potatoes to a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes. Remove from water and let cool on towels to absorb excess moisture.

Peel and Grate Potatoes:

Remove the peels. Grate potatoes finely using a box grater (or, ideally, a potato ricer).

Mix Dough

Mound potatoes on a clean work surface. Add flour, then ricotta, then egg, then salt. Whisk with a fork, starting in the center and working your way out. It will get crumbly.

Knead Dough

Use your hands to gently bring the mixture together into a smooth dough. Don’t overmix it and don’t overflour it!

Gnocchify:

Form into a loaf. Cut the loaf into slices. Roll each slice into a rope. Cut rope into small pieces.

Boil:

Dust the small pieces with flour to prevent sticking. Working in batches, add the gnocchi to a pot of boiling water. When they rise to the top, remove with a slotted spoon. I usually put em in a bowl and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Serve with sauce!
