DIRECTIONS:
- Place the potatoes in a small pot covered with water. Cook over high heat until fork tender. Strain the potatoes from the water, add the potatoes back to the pot and place into a 250 degree Fahrenheit oven for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the pot and press through a potato ricer into a fine mesh drum sieve. Using a rubber spatula pass all of the riced potatoes through the sieve into a clean stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and egg to the warm potato puree and mix well.
- Fold the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg into the potato mixture until a manageable dough is formed. (More or less flour may be needed, depending upon the moisture level of the potatoes.)
- Using your palms, roll out the dough, a quarter batch at a time, into a long, thin cylinder about half a inch in diameter. Cut the cylinder with a floured knife at half-inch intervals and quickly roll the dough into balls. With your finger and thumb, roll each ball of dough across a floured wooden gnocchi paddle to achieve the correct size and shape.
