After many years of watching entirely too many cooking shows, and wondering what on earth gnocchi even were, I finally managed to teach myself to make them. They are actually quite easy and my kids love them.
Tonight I am starting with some left-over mashed potatoes from earlier in the week. I will add an egg, some seasoned salt, a little shredded cheese and enough flour to make a workable dough. Working with small amounts, knead, then roll into a "snake". Cut into 1 inch peices and roll into balls. Refridgerate. When you are ready to cook them, bring a pan of broth ( or water and bullion) to a boil, drop the gnocchi in a few at a time, and remove when they float.
These can be served with a variety of sauce, but we like them plain, as a side dish. Be creative. Happy Friday.
