An easier version of an Italian favorite, using instant mashed potatoes. This recipe can easily be double, tripled, etc. I make multiple batches, and freeze. To freeze, put on cookie sheets until frozen, and then put into plastic bags. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients

  • dry potato flakes: 1 cup
  • boiling water: 1 cup
  • egg: 1 piece (beaten)
  • salt: 1 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.125 tsp
  • ½ cups all-purpose flour: 1 piece

  1. Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. Pour in boiling water; stir until blended. Let cool.

  2. Stir in egg, salt, and pepper. Blend in enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Turn dough out on a well floured board. Knead lightly.

  3. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. With a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite-size pieces.

  4. Place a few gnocchi in boiling water. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all are cooked.
