Step 1

Preparation

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and boil them whole in salted water until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes. Start poking them with a fork at around 20 minutes, to check.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and, keeping them in their cooking pot, shake them over a low flame till they are very dry, just a minute or two. Mash well with a potato masher, while still hot.

Step 4

Turn the potatoes out onto the counter or a large cutting board (or even a very large mixing bowl), add the dry , and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, pepper, and olive oil to the well.

Step 5

Start mixing from the inside, out, drawing more of the potato, cake meal, and potato starch in and then mixing and kneading with your hands, until you have a smooth, silky dough. Don’t add any additional meal or starch – it will take a few minutes, but it will come together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator, cut the dough into 4 or more pieces, and on a flat surface well dusted with potato starch, roll each piece out into a snake about 3/4 of an inch thick. If you have small counter space for the purpose, feel free to just tear off pieces of dough that you’re more comfortable with. Using a fork, cut the rope into pieces about 1/2 inch long, and roll them along the tines of the fork to kind of round them off and imprint them with those lovely grooves. I got a little better at it, than I did the last time. 🙂 The process moves pretty quickly, after you get past the first few.

Step 8

Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water, in batches, if necessary. When they rise to the top, allow them to cook for an additional one minute. I mean it One minute, only. Do not overcook! Scoop them out with a slotted spoon or spider, and if not dressing right away, toss with a few drops of olive oil, to prevent sticking.
