Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Scrub potatoes clean, coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake on a baking sheet until very tender. About 1 hour.
Let the potatoes cool just enough that you are able to handle them, they should still be as warm as possible for the dough to come together. Peel the potatoes and pass through a potato ricer.*
Place the riced potatoes in a pile on a clean work surface. Add the egg to the center and then add flour, knead with your hands until a dough forms. How much flour you need will depend on the size of your potatoes, keep adding flour until the dough isn't too sticky.
Before you begin shaping the gnocchi, get the boiling salted water ready. Add about 4 quarts of water to a large pot with 1-2 tablespoons of salt.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a long skinny rope, about 1 inch in diameter. Use a pastry wheel or a sharp knife to cut the rope into 1-inch bite-size pieces.
