Step 1
Add potatoes to a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes. Remove from water and let cool on towels to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
Remove the peels. Grate potatoes finely using a box grater (or, ideally, a potato ricer).
Step 3
Mound potatoes on a clean work surface. Add flour, then ricotta, then egg, then salt. Whisk with a fork, starting in the center and working your way out. It will get crumbly.
Step 4
Use your hands to gently bring the mixture together into a smooth dough. Don’t overmix it and don’t overflour it!
Step 5
Form into a loaf. Cut the loaf into slices. Roll each slice into a rope. Cut rope into small pieces.
Step 6
Dust the small pieces with flour to prevent sticking. Working in batches, add the gnocchi to a pot of boiling water. When they rise to the top, remove with a slotted spoon. I usually put em in a bowl and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Serve with sauce!
