Step 1

Peel, quarter, and rinse potatoes. Put them in a pot, cover with water by at least 1 inch, sprinkle with a lg pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until a paring knife meets little resistance when poking the potatoes. Transfer to a colander to drain and cover with a dish towel as they dry out a bit.

Step 2

When the potatoes are warm but cool enough to touch pass them through a ricer.

Step 3

Combine the egg and cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the potatoes and flour and work them together with a dough hook. Start slowly then increase to med. Knead for 4 min. or until it comes together in a shaggy, integrated mass that clings to the hook.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the hook and knead it by hand on a floured surface to smooth it out. Cover with a damp kitchen towel so it doesn't dry out as you work.

Step 5

With floured hands, grab a handball-sized piece of dough and roll it into a chubby cigar shape, thicker in the middle. Then roll it into a ½ inch thick snake. Cut the snake into thumb-width pieces. Pinch each gnocchi and place on a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 6

To cook, drop the gnocchi into a pot of boiling, well-salted water and cook for 2 min. after the first few begin to float on top of the water.
