Gnocchi

Serves 4

Ingredients
- 500g potatoes
- 150g flour
- ½ egg
- salt

Directions
Boil the potatoes with the skin in salted water for 40 minutes until cooked but not too soft. Drain and remove the skin while still hot. Mash the potatoes and mix the mash potatoes, flour, a pinch of salt and ½ an egg. When you've obtained a homogenous dough, roll it into thin cylinders on a surface sprinkled with flour. Cut each cylinder into pieces approximately 1cm long. Let them set for at least 15 minutes and up to a couple of days.
To cook bring water to the boil and add the gnocchi. When they raise to the surface of the water they are ready to be scooped out. Season as you prefer, for example with double cream and grated parmesan or melted butter and sage.
