Leftover Mash Gnocchi

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups leftover mashed potato

1 large egg yolk, beaten

½ cup plain flour

METHOD

1. Mix the egg yolk into the mashed potato.

2. Add the flour and mix gently to a soft dough.

3. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a loaf.

4. Cut a small slice off the loaf and roll into a rope about the thickness of your thumb.

5. Slice into 2cm pieces and sprinkle with a little flour so they don’t stick together.

6. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add a pinch of salt and cook the gnocchi in batches.

7. They’re ready when they float to the top.

8. Scoop the gnocchi out and drop gently into the sauce of your choice.

   Notes

   • Using a large pot and cooking in batches helps keep the water temperature high for a quick even cook.

   • Adding the cooked gnocchi immediately to the sauce helps to keep them from sticking together.
