Best Gnocchi Recipe

Ingredients:

1 pound potatoes

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Prick potatoes several times with a fork and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until very tender when pierced with a knife.
3. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes into a bowl and mash well.
4. Stir in egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well blended.
5. Stir in 1 cup of flour until the mixture forms a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a little bit at a time until it is no longer sticky.
6. Dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto the surface. Knead for 1 to 2 minutes to form a smooth dough.
7. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and roll each one into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi dumplings.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 2 minutes. Butter will melt and foam on top of the water; watch carefully so that it does not boil over. Add gnocchi dumplings and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they rise to the surface; remove with a slotted spoon as they are done cooking and transfer them to a serving platter lined with paper towels to drain excess water.
9. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
