## Ingredients

- 16 oz potatoes
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 browned butter
- 1 freshly grated parmesan
- 1 fresh basil or fried sage

## Instructions

1. Peel and chop 16 oz of potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
2. Put the potatoes into a pot and cover them with cold water, leaving about an inch of extra water on top.
3. Put the pot on a medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until fork-tender.
4. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
5. Press the potatoes through a sieve or ricer into a bowl.
6. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the potatoes.
7. Mix everything with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
8. Lightly flour your hands and countertop, then knead the dough until a smooth ball forms.
9. Divide the dough into six equal pieces.
10. Roll each piece of dough into a half-inch thick log, and cut into three-quarter-inch pieces.
11. Use a gnocchi board or a fork to create ridges on each gnocchi piece.
12. Place gnocchi on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly flour to prevent sticking.
13. Bring a big pot of water to a boil, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and cook the gnocchi in batches for 3-4 minutes, until they float.
14. Transfer cooked gnocchi to a bowl and finish them off in a pan with browned butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil or fried sage.
