Directions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
