Grandma's Gnocchi image

My grandmother used to make these when I was a little girl. When I was old enough to realize that I needed to get her delicious recipes, she showed me how to make a lot of her wonderful dishes. She never wrote anything down and she rarely used a cookbook. She also didn't measure things the same each time, so sometimes you have to add a little to the recipes.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 russet potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and peel. Season with salt, then mash potatoes with fork, masher, or in ricer. Place in large bowl, and stir in egg and olive oil. Knead in enough flour to make a soft dough.
  • On a floured surface, roll dough into a long rope. Cut the rope into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi, and cook until they float to the top, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with pasta sauce.

I used a gluten-free flour blend to make these gnocchi and they turned out perfectly. They were just as light and fluffy as the traditional gnocchi.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The gnocchi still turned out great.

These gnocchi were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the gnocchi turned out really gummy. I think I might have overcooked them.

The gnocchi were a little bit too dense for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try making them again with a different recipe.

I've made gnocchi many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The gnocchi were so light and airy, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gnocchi turned out perfectly. They were soft and chewy, and the sauce was delicious. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a complete meal.
