Miriam’s Gnocchi

1. you need russet potatoes.  You take about 1-1.5 per person if you  are making for just one meal. 

2. peel and boil the potatoes.  Once they are fully cooked, mash them up (my potato masher sucks so sometimes I beat them with a beater also.  

3.  Put potatoes in a bowl with a dip in the middle. For up to 8 potatoes add 1 egg whole, a drizzle of olive oil and if you want salt but I never put salt.  Then add flour until the dough smells right and it is firm but soft at the same time.
