A delightful homemade gnocchi recipe that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth and let them cool slightly.
Ensure the potatoes are dry before mashing to avoid excess moisture in the dough.
Combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Add the flour gradually to achieve the right dough consistency.
Knead the mixture gently until a soft dough forms.
Avoid over-kneading to keep the gnocchi light and fluffy.
Divide the dough into four portions and roll each into a long rope on a floured surface.
Use a light touch to roll the dough evenly.
Cut the ropes into small pieces and shape each piece using a fork.
Press lightly with the fork to create ridges that hold sauce well.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
Ensure the water is at a gentle boil to prevent the gnocchi from breaking apart.
Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Cook in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Serve the gnocchi with your favorite sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor.
