Which is the easiest potato dumplings recipe available?

Here's a simple potato dumpling (also called gnocchi) recipe. These are best made fresh and enjoyed right away.

Ingredients:

* 1 pound (450 grams) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

* 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour

* 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated parmesan cheese

* 1 egg yolk

* 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

* Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

2. Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Add the flour, parmesan cheese, egg yolk, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

3. Heat some water on low to medium heat.

4. With your hands, roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls (or shapes of your choice) and slightly flatten them with your fingers. You should have about 30 pieces.

5. Working in batches, gently drop the dumplings into the simmering water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Remove the dumplings from the water with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate.

7. Serve the potato dumplings immediately with your choice of sauce, such as butter, pesto, or a tomato-based sauce.

Tips:

* For a lighter texture, use less flour in the dough mixture.

* If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

* You can also add chopped herbs, such as basil or parsley, to the dough mixture for extra flavor.

* To store the dumplings, place them on a baking tray, freeze, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer. When ready to use, boil them directly from frozen.
