• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 4 large idaho potatoes, washed
• 4 quarts water
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1⁄4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
• 2 large egg yolks, beaten
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour

directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Prick each potato several times with a fork, then place on baking sheet. Cook for about 1 hour. Remove from oven, let cool for 10-12 minutes until cool enough to handle.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling add 1 teaspoon salt. Meanwhile cut each potato open lengthwise; scoop out the flesh and place through a ricer, into a bowl.
4. Stir in salt, Parmigiano, yolks and 1 cup of flour, just enough to combine to avoid overworking the dough (otherwise gnocchi will become tough).
5. Roll out into 12 x 3/4 inch snake-like shape; sprinkle with flour to avoid sticking. Cut the ropes into 3/4 inch pieces. Press each piece lightly with the tines of a fork.
6. In three batches, drop the gnocchi in the boiling water and let cook until the pieces all float, about 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Remove the gnocchi with a perforated spoon or skimmer and serve immediately.
