Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1 cup flour and egg, mixing until combined.

Step 2

Flour your work surface then turn the gnocchi dough out onto your work surface and knead it with your hands until it comes together into a ball and is no longer sticky. (Slowly incorporate additional flour as needed.)

Step 3

Divide the ball into four pieces then roll each piece into a 1-inch-thick rope. Cut each rope into 1-inch gnocchi.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook them until they float to the top, about 2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your preferred sauce.

Step 5

All leftover mashed potatoes will vary in consistency and that will determine exactly how much flour is needed. Begin with one cup then add more flour as needed until the dough is pliable and not too sticky.
