Ingredients of Potato Gnocchi

1. Prepare 2 medium of potatoes, peeled and diced..
2. Prepare 2 cup of all-purpose flour (and half a cup for work surface).
3. Prepare 1 of egg.
4. Prepare 1 tsp of salt and pepper ( I'm using pink salt and peppercorn).
5. It's 1 tsp of each: garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley (I'm using a pre-blended mix).
6. Prepare 1 of water to boil potatoes in.

Potato Gnocchi step by step

1. Boil potatoes for about 20 minutes. You want to be able to smash a chunk easily with the back of a fork..
2. When your potatoes are drained and smashed, pour flour on a clean surface and make a 'well' in the center..
3. Add your smashed potatoes in the 'well' you've made, and add your seasonings..
4. Start folding the potatoes into the flour, starting with a fork. Once it starts to come together, make another 'well' in the center of the potato-flour pile. Add your egg, (I should've beated it first before adding it) and knead the potato flour into the egg..
5. DO NOT OVER-MIX!!! Once the dough comes together, STOP. The dough should be slightly sticky and that is fine. Sprinkle a bit of flour to your work space and roll out the dough into ropes..
6. Roll the rope into half-inch thickness. It will double in size when you boil it, so be aware! We're not making dumplings here, bruh!.
7. I cut my rope in half for easy cutting. Placed my dough ropes side by side, and sliced them into about a quarter of an inch to half-inch slices..
8. Some people like to get fancy and make little designs on their gnocchi, like rolling them--individually--with a fork or tool; or even going in and slightly denting each one into "dimples". Honestly, I just want to eat. So, we're having plain pillow-shapes! :).
9. If you're weird, like me, you'd go and wash out that same pot you boiled potatoes in, and fill with more water to boil the little gnocchi pillows in. I pieced in a gnocchi at a time, so they don't stick together while they boil..
10. Oh yeah, boil for about 4 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface; and you're done!.
11. If you want to save some gnocchi for another day, these guys freeze well. Just lay them in a single layer on a plate, flash-freeze for about half an hour, then remove from the plate and throw them in a zip-lock bag for space-saving..
