Directions

1

Place potatoes in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover.

2

Close pressure cooker and put in medium heat.

3

Cook for 5 minutes after the regulator starts to blow steam or until tender.

4

Peel potatoes and rice them using a potato ricer.

5

Place riced potatoes in a large bowl and refrigerated for at least 3 hours (better if refrigerated overnight).

6

Combine into the refrigerated riced potatoes the egg, margarine, salt, grated cheese and mix well while adding the flour just enough to keep mixture from sticking.

7

Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rope ¾-inch thick and cut into 1-inch long pieces.

8

Press each piece with a fork to create a pattern and slight indentation that will hold the sauce when served.

9

Boil the gnocchi in batches in plenty of salted water.

10

The gnocchi are done about 2 minutes after they float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon, and serve.
