Steps: |
| -Preheat oven to 400 degrees. |
| -Bake potatoes until soft, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes. |
| -Extract potato from peel with a fork. Allow potato to rest on a cutting board until all the unwanted moisture has steamed out. (Learn How) |
| -Form your potatoes into a well (this will look like a volcano). |
| -Sprinkle all the flour all over the top. Place the egg in the well. Add the salt. |
| -With a fork, stir the egg and some of the surrounding flour and potato together. |
| -Slowly incorporate the rest of the potato and flour until your dough becomes smooth. Knead for about 4 minutes. |
| -Bring a pot of salted water to boil. |
| -Divide your dough into 4. Roll one portion of dough into a long rope. |
| -With a sharp knife, cut this rope into 1-inch sections. |
| -To shape these pieces, roll down the back side of a fork's tines, pressing lightly with your thumb so that you make a slight indentation. |
| -This will leave you with a concave side and a side with ridges. Continue until you have worked through all the dough. |
| -Drop batches of the gnocchi into boiling water and cook until they float to the top. |
| -Transfer to a bowl of ice water; once chilled move to a dish and drizzle with oil to hold. |
