How to Make Coal Miners Gnocchi

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
  2. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Roll the dough into a long rope, about 1 inch thick.
  5. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Roll each piece lightly with a fork to create ridges (optional).
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  8. Gently drop the gnocchi into the boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  10. Melt butter or heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  11. Add the cooked gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite gnocchi sauce.
