Gnocchi

This is the recipe my Grandma used. The instant potatoes was a recent modification to make the gnocchi lighter and fluffier. You can used normal mashed potatoes instead if you like.


1 cup instant potatoes
2 1/2 cups flour and to work with
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt


Make the instant potatoes according to package directions leave out butter just use water. Mix potatoes and flour; break 2 eggs into well of flour/potatoes. Work 'til stiff and well mixed. Roll rope, cut, do finger roll. (You can roll them off a fork too). Line cookie sheet with gnocchi and make sure you use enough flour so they don't stick. You can sprinkle the baking sheet with cornmeal if desired. When ready to serve boil water and dump in. When the gnocchi surface they are finished. Scoop with ladle or drain in colander.
