From the kitchen of Diomira Putano. These little potato dumplings are a
classic Italian dish. Allow ample time for the mashed potatoes to cool &
dry, overnight is ok (just cover with a clean dish towel). Too much flour
will result in a gummy texture.

Cook:
4 medium potatoes with skin on for about 1 hour.
Peel. Mash with a ricer. Measure 2 cups.
Spread out on a board. Sprinkle with salt. Wait a few hours
or overnight to give the potatoes time to cool & dry.
Make a hole in center & add:
1 egg
Around the potatoes add:
1 1/4 c flour + 1 Tbsp more
Mix until smooth. This is sticky.
Add flour to board/ fingers as needed
to avoid sticking (about 1/4 c).
Roll dough into thick pencil like shapes.
Slice. Place pieces on a floured surface.
In a stainless pot:
3 qt water
5 tsp salt
Bring to a boil.
While waiting for water to boil, transfer gnocchi
with a spatula to a bowl. Add gnocchi when
water is boiling. When they are all in, stir
right away & cover. When they come to the top,
uncover. Boil for 1 minute uncovered.
Turn off gas, add cold water to pot, drain.
Spoon into a pyrex dish that has sauce in it.
Toss to coat, add more sauce & top with
grated romano cheese.
