Ingredients
- 2 potatoes, peeled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and mash with a fork or potato masher.
- Combine 1 cup mashed potato, flour, and egg in a large bowl. Knead until dough forms a ball. Shape small portions of the dough into long “snakes”. On a floured surface, cut snakes into 1/2-inch pieces.

This recipe is very good will definitely do it again .
Made as is. Not too much flavor, but maybe it’s just supposed to come from whatever you serve the gnocchi with.
Awesome and so easy. Mixing 1 C potato- 2 C flour & 1 egg mix mix mix with a fork till my hand hurt; finally saw & felt the mix coming together, and put on floured counter to kneed.. let rest 25min. Came out perfect
Amazingly easy recipe that produces lovely gnocchi
I love the fact it’s so easy and just enough for 3 hungry people Thank you for sharing
Followed instructions. If you add 2 cups of flower to 1 cup potato and just 1 egg, you are never gonna get it mixed correctly.
Followed substitutions from reviewers. 2 pounds of potatoes, 2 cups of flour, and one egg. Since the potatoes need to be as dry as possible, I baked them instead of boiled. The dough should feel like a slightly sticky pizza dough when it comes together. Cut and rolled the gnocchi across the back to a fork and then boiled them in salted water until they floated. Then I just tossed them up in a brown butter sage sauce.
Excellent foundation
The recipe and video is wrong in the amounts for the potatoes and the flour. Two medium potatoes will only be about 2 cups after boiled and mashed. If you add the two cups of flour it calls for, the dough will be too dense. There should be much more potatoes than flour to make a nice, soft, smooth gnocchi. Research other recipes for basic gnocchi and you will find this to be correct.
Good recipe, but the directions don’t match the video. The video has more detail. Be sure to watch the video and add the extra steps to the directions for the complete recipe. I used a ricer for the potatoes like the suggestion below.
The reason many had problems with this recipe is beyond the ingredient amounts! Perfect recipe is 500 ml of potatoes (baked-mashed-salted), 1 large egg, 1/2 tsp salt & 300 ml of flour. Don’t adjust! Use a scale!
Super simple! Worked perfectly. Don’t dump the 2 cups of flour in. I did 1.5. Mashed potatoes in a mixing bowl and tossed in egg, then flour and mixed with a rubber spoon using the back of it to blend and then the front to mix it before needing on a bread board and rolling out the 1″ snakes.
Receipt was perfect! Hardiest part was rolling it out in string lengths but got it and would do it again! Thanks!
I really enjoyed the recipe, the gnocchi came out Just right as I used I bit less flour that was called for.
Not easy to make. The dough was much too dry, it needed an additional egg and a handful more of mashed potatoes. Requires more ingredients than what is listed.
Great Used the KitchenAid dough hook to blend Thanks!
Beautiful, takes a little grease of the elbow to mix it through. One egg is plenty. Home grown potatoes, pasta sauce from garden tomatoes, herbs also from the garden, and an egg from the chicken. Wonderful fresh and tasty! So little ingredients so much gnocchi!!
Simple and fabulous! I served these with homemade marinara sauce with green pepper. I like to cook, so I was able to master this recipe at the first try. But it takes a lot of intuition; if you’re not willing to cook “by feel,” you will be frustrated trying to make these.
Love this recipe, I’d 100% make it again….
Inedible. What a waste of potato and egg.
I’ve used this recipe many times and it works great.
