Gnocchi is one of the best comfort dishes. Soft, fluffy pasta made with potatoes and you can make an endless variety of dishes with it.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Idaho potatoes
  • 2 cups all purpose flour (plus about 1/3 cup more for kneading and surface)
  • 1 egg
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    NOTE: You will need plenty of work surface so clear out a counter.

  2. 2

    Peel potatoes and cut out all the dark spots and eyes. Cut them in half and add them to the pot of cold water with salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Cook potatoes until fork-tender but not overdone to where it’s falling apart.

  3. 3

    Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Drop desired amount of gnocchi in it, a few at a time so they don’t stick. Once they float to the top, cook for about 1 more minute and take them out with a slotted spoon.

  4. 4

    Line large cutting boards with parchment paper and spread a little bit of flour all over the bottom. Spread out uncooked gnocchi in one even layer (don’t crowd them) and freeze for about an hour or two. (Set a time so you don’t forget.)
