Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c dry potato flakes
1 c boiling water
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 1/2 c -purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. Pour in boiling water; stir until blended. Let cool. Stir in egg, salt, and pepper. Blend in enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Turn dough out on a well floured board. Knead lightly. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. With a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite-size pieces. Place a few gnocchi in boiling water. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all are cooked.
  • 2. saute with your favorite herbs, butter, sauce or just by themselves...
