Gno-ledge is power

I made gnocchi!

And made a mental note that I need to get a digital camera so I can share these adventures with you.

Gnocchi is surprisingly easy. And it cost me about fifty cents to make about two pounds of it.

Now I have two cookie sheets of delightful little dumplings.

If you want to try, bake about 7-8 medium sized potatoes. I bake 'em in the microwave, because I'm too cheap to turn on the oven for so long.

Let them cool. Then take the skin off. Put in a teaspoon of salt and about 2 tablespoons of oil. Mash well.

Then, add flour (somewhere between 1.5 cups and 2 cups). Squish it with your (clean) hands until you have dough that isn't sticky.

Roll it into a big snake, and cut pieces that are about 3/4 inch blobs.

If you want to get really fancy, you can use a fork to give them stripes that help hold the sauce.

Boil for 2 minutes and eat!

They are way more delicious than the ones you buy at the grocery store, 1/4 of the price, and you can shock and amaze your friends. It took me about half an hour from the time the potatoes were cool enough for me to peel.
