How to Make Betty Crocker Gnocchi

  1. In a large bowl, reconstitute the Betty Crocker Potato Buds according to package directions.
  2. Let the reconstituted potato buds cool slightly.
  3. Add the egg and mix well until combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to achieve a slightly sticky but manageable dough. Do not overmix.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for 1-2 minutes to bring it together.
  6. Roll the dough into a long rope, about 1 inch in diameter.
  7. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.
  8. Optional: Freeze the uncooked gnocchi on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper before transferring to a freezer bag for later use.
  9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  10. Gently drop about 1/4 of the gnocchi into the boiling water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Remove the cooked gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl.
  12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 until all gnocchi are cooked.
  13. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
