Ingredients

350 g	potatoes, floury variety
1	egg yolk
3 tbsp	flour
3 tbsp	semolina flour
	salt
	nutmeg
	butter

Instructions

Peel and quarter the potatoes and cook in salted water until tender. Drain and place back onto the hob, heat switched off, until all the steam has evaporated. Pass the still hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Allow to cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolk, flour and semolina and a knob of butter. Season with salt and nutmeg. Knead until well combined.

In a wide saucepan, bring salted water to a light boil. Take a little piece of the dough, shape into a small dumpling and place in the simmering water to see, if it keeps together. If it falls apart, knead a little more flour and semolina into the dough.

Dust your working surface with flour. Take the dough, a piece at a time, and roll it out gently with a light touch of your hands until you have rolls about ¾ inch in diameter.

Cut the rolls into pieces about 2,5cm long. Using the tines of a fork, press against each piece of the dough and roll it slightly to form an indentation, that is good for catching the sauce later on.

Gently drop the gnocchi, a few at a time, into the water. As soon as they rise to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon, draining well. Arrange on a warm serving dish. Continue cooking the remaining gnocchi in the same manner.

Serve the gnocchi with a sauce or fried in a pan with butter until golden.
