Recipe: Mashed Potato Gnocchi

Mashed Potato Gnocchi
 
3 cups of leftover mashed potatoes
2 eggs 
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional
Approx 3 cups of flour
 
Mix the mashed potatoes with the eggs, garlic and cheese. 
 
Start with about 2 cups of flour and work in. Keep adding flour half a cup at a time, until you have a soft but somewhat stiff dough. Don’t overwork. 
Pull or cut a large piece of dough about the size of a golf ball and roll into a rope about 3/4 of an inch thick. Cut into one inch pieces.
If you like,  Roll and flip the pieces with a floured fork. I usually just make them into oval balls.
Simmer in salted water or stock for about 15 minutes depending on what size you make them. 
Serve with a nice tomato basil sauce or butter Or I add to a soup about 10 minutes before serving
There’s a lot of serving options!
 
Yields about 3 pounds of gnocchi.
