An easier version of an Italian favorite, using instant mashed potatoes. This recipe can easily be double, tripled, etc. I make multiple batches, and freeze. To freeze, put on cookie sheets until frozen, and then put into plastic bags. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl.

Pour in boiling water; stir until blended.

Stir in egg, salt, and pepper.

Blend in enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough.

Turn dough out on a well floured board.

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.

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.
