Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 5 mins Ready Time: 15 mins


• place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. pour in boiling water; stir until blended. let cool.
• stir in egg, salt, and pepper. blend in enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough. turn dough out on a well floured board. knead lightly.
• divide dough in half. shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. with a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite-size pieces.
• place a few gnocchi in boiling water. as the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. repeat until all are cooked.
