The recipe for gnocchi

Gnocchi goes well with almost any sauce and fills you up significantly more than pasta.

• First of all, prepare jacket potatoes, which you remove from their skins after cooking.
• Mash the potatoes until finely mashed. There shouldn’t be any lumps left here. Just be careful not to mash for too long or the dough will become slimy.
• Then add the salt, the egg, and half the flour and mix everything together.
• Then put the dough on a floured work surface and knead it well. You can also add more flour here if needed to keep it from being too sticky.
• Now separate the dough into 4 parts and then quarter them again so that you have a total of 16 small balls.
• Roll a ball into a 2 cm thick roll. Now cut them into small pieces, which should be about the width of your thumb.
• Using a fork, press the ridges onto the gnocchi.
• Bring salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi. They’re done as soon as they float to the surface.
• We recommend using a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi.
• Our tip: Gnocchi tastes particularly good if you fry them in melted butter and with a sage leaf.
