Potato Gnocchi are prepared with mashed potato, flour salt, and an egg. A dough is formed and then further cut or shaped into Gnocchi dumplings. I give you 3 options to shape your Gnocchi (see video and post). Water is boiled and the gnocchi are cooked in the boiling salt water until they swim on top.
08Pick a shape and use up all the dough. The easiest is the pillow shape, the prettiest the elaborate roll over the fork shape
09Keep water to boil with salt.
10Once the water boils, drop your gnocchi into the boiling water. Fill up but don't overcrowd. So you will need to work in batches to cook all the gnocchi.
11Wait until the Gnocchis are cooked. They will swim on the surface when ready. The cooking takes about 5 mins.
12Keep a colander in a larger bowl and take out the gnocchi and place them into the colander.
13Then you can use the gnocchi in a dish or soup or simply place into a skillet with butter and parmesan.
