Potato Gnocchi

From: My mama's kitchen :)

2 c. leftover COLD mashed potatoes (ready to eat - except cold)

1 egg

2-4 c. all-purpose flour ( amount depends on the moisture in the potatoes)

1. Get a big pot of water ready to boil.
2. Scramble the egg and mix it well with the mashed potatoes.
3. Slowly add flour, stirring it in until the dough reaches a consistency a little softer than play-dough.
4. Roll the dough into a snake about 1/2 inch in diameter. Slice the snake with a sharp knife to make 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch cylinders. Make them all about the same size so they all cook the same amount of time. As you cut them, keep them dusted with flour so they don't stick to each other.
5. When the water boils, add a couple handfulls of gnocchis and stir gently. Keep the water boiling. The gnocchis will float to the surface of the water when they are cooked. Scoop the cooked gnocchis out of the water and set aside in a bowl. Sprinkle them occasionally with a little olive oil to keep them from sticking to each other. Cook the gnocchis in batches until they are all cooked.
6. Serve with any Italian sauce you wish... I like herb and garlic sauce or tomato sauce.
7. Share with friends and family... it makes them taste better :)
