Steps:
- The twist is that the traditional recipe calls for mashed potato. So you can substitute that if you're looking for something more traditional.
- I don't have any pictures for this part, but it's easy.
- 1) combine all ingredients and stir until combined.
- 2) turn the dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or counter top.
- 3) knead until smooth (roughly 3 minutes).
- 4) Separate the dough into 1 inch tubes, thusly, and cut into half-inch pillow shapes.
- 1) Pinch the pillow shapes so that the ends touch.
- 2) Using the back of a fork, press and roll the gnocchi towards you. The aim is to create grooves that go all the way around the gnocchi. These catch sauce and make the pasta cook faster.
- 3) Transfer the finished gnocchi to a lightly floured plate where they can hang out and get to know one another. Don't let them get too friendly or they'll stick together when you try to cook them.
- These gnocchi were made with a tomato based sauce. You could also make a curry/coconut milk sauce or a white sauce (which would show off their funky colour).
- I made a tomato sauce with leftover deli olives.
- When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.
- When it's boiling, dump the gnocchi gently into the pot, being careful not to burn yourself, and being careful that they don't stick together.
- Continue to boil the gnocchi for 2-4 minutes.
- The gnocchi are done when they all float up to the top (if you're unsure, you can taste one. It should be chewy, but cooked through).
- Drain the gnocchi in a colander.
- Return the gnocchi to the pot and add the finished sauce a spoonful at a time until all the pasta is nicely coated. When your sauce is almost done, boil a large pot of salted water.

Tips:
- For the perfect gnocchi texture, use a light hand when mixing the dough. Overworking the dough will make the gnocchi tough.
- To prevent the gnocchi from sticking to the pan, make sure to use a well-oiled skillet or griddle.
- If you don't have a ricer, you can use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of flour. All-purpose flour is a good choice, but you can also use semolina flour or even almond flour.
- If you are using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
- To make the sauce more flavorful, you can add a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
