Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 6 large potatoes, hot and cooked
• 4 tbsp butter
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 4 cup flour
• ½ cube melted butter
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Mash the potatoes. Beat in the butter, eggs and baking powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Sift in the flour, making a stiff dough. Mix and knead until the dough is smooth.
2. Shape the dough into long rolls about as thick as a finger and cut into 1-inch pieces. Press each piece with your thumb to make a crescent shape.
3. Cook the gnocchi a few at a time in a large pot of boiling salted water until they rise to the surface, about 10 minutes.
4. Arrange in a heated baking dish and sprinkle with melted butter and cheese. Set the dish in a 350 degree oven a few minutes until the cheese melts.

Notes

Serve with a roast and stuffed zucchini. Also good served with spaghetti sauce. Serves 8. From Rosauers (Vegetables VG-43).
