Gnocchi Recipe
Homemade Potato Gnocchi is endlessly better than store-bought and they are freezer friendly. This recipe is also very versatile. We love to sauté them and serve with bacon and sour cream, or simply toss them in pesto sauce or warm marinara and parmesan cheese.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash potatoes and pierce all over with a fork. Bake or boil* the potatoes - you can do instant pot baked potato, air fryer baked potato, or oven-baked potatoes until easily pierced, then let rest until they are cool enough to handle. Peel potatoes and cut each one into 4 slices. Use a potato ricer to press one piece of potato at a time over a clean work surface.
2
Drizzle 1 beaten egg over the potatoes and dot the top of the potatoes with bits of ricotta cheese.

3
Mix salt and pepper into the flour then sift the flour mixture over the potatoes.

4
Use a bench scraper or your hands to mix everything together lightly then use your hands to press dough together gently. Dust work surface and dough with flour as you gently knead, roll and fold the dough. Do not over-knead or smash the dough but keep it light and fluffy. Knead just until flour is incorporated and a soft and smooth dough has formed.
5
Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Generously dust your work surface and roll each piece into a long, 1/2-inch thick strip and cut strips with a bench scraper or knife into 1-inch pieces. Roll gnocchi over a floured fork or over a gnocchi paddle for a ridge pattern. Transfer formed gnocchi to a parchment-lined and flour-dusted baking sheet, keeping them in a single layer. Repeat with remaining dough portions, dusting with flour as needed. Before cooking gnocchi, prepare your desired serving method (see below).
6
Cook gnocchi in 3-4 batches in salted water (1 1/2 Tbsp salt for a half pot of water). Do not overcrowd the pot and give a light stir in case they are stuck together. As soon as they start to float to the top, cook for ⏱️ 1 minute then immediately lift with a sieve to drain then transfer to warm sauce or finish them in a skillet. Repeat cooking the remaining batches.
