Recipe: Homemade gnocchi

Ingredients

2 potatoes
1 egg
2 cups flour

Method

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.

2. Peel potatoes and add to pot. Cook until tender (15 minutes). Drain, cool and mash with a fork or potato masher.

3. Combine 1 cup mashed potato, flour and egg in a large bowl. Knead until dough forms a ball.

4. Shape small portions of the dough into long “snakes”. On a floured surface, cut snakes into 3-5cm pieces.

5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook. Gnocchi is cooked when it floats to the top of the water.

(Kleynhans likes to fry his gnocchi in some butter after boiling but this is up to you).
