PREPARING THE GNOCCHI Place the Idaho potatoes in a pot of water, and bring it to a simmer on the stove. Cook for 30-45 minutes or until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork. Remove the potatoes from the water, and let them fully cool at room temperature. Peel the potatoes, and place in a ricer. Add the remaining ingredients (all-purpose flour, egg, kosher salt, and nutmeg), and gently work the ingredients until all are combined. This is your dough.

Cut the dough into sections, and roll 1-inch-thick ropes. Then, cut 1 inch portions. Roll the pieces of dough on a gnocchi board or use the back of a fork to create the classic gnoc-chi shape. Dust with flour, and reserve.
