Ingredients

  • 2 Large golden Yukon Potatoes
  • 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • 1 Cup Sifted All Purpose Flour
  • Semolina Flour for Dusting

Instructions

  • Coat the potatoes with olive oil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until fully cooked. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, scoop out the center of the potatoes and discard the skin. Add the egg yolk and sifted flour, then mix until a dough is formed. 
  • Take a large baking sheet and sprinkle it with semolina flour. Roll out the gnocchi dough into ropes about half an inch in diameter. 
  • Cut the homemade gnocchi rope into pieces around an inch in length. Keep dusting the gnocchi with the semolina flour to avoid it from becoming tacky. 
  • Roll the one-inch pieces of gnocchi over a gnocchi board with your thumb to obtain the desired shape. Let the gnocchi air dry for around 30 minutes. 
  • In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi until they float. Then drain and remove. 
  •  Serve with your favorite sauce, such as marinara, tomato, vodka, or alfredo. Top with grated Locatelli or your favorite Italian cheese. 
  • "Mangiamo" - you have an awesome homemade gnocchi dish !
