An easier version of an Italian favorite, using instant mashed potatoes. This recipe can easily be double, tripled, etc. I make multiple batches, and freeze. To freeze, put on cookie sheets until frozen, and then put into plastic bags. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry potato flakes
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 egg , beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.13 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
-
1
Place potato flakes in a medium-size bowl. Pour in boiling water; stir until blended. Let cool.
-
2
Stir in egg, salt, and pepper. Blend in enough flour to make a fairly stiff dough. Turn dough out on a well floured board. Knead lightly.
-
3
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a long thin roll, the thickness of a breadstick. With a knife dipped in flour, cut into bite-size pieces.
-
4
Place a few gnocchi in boiling water. As the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, remove them with a slotted spoon. Repeat until all are cooked.

Jansson's Temptation (Janssons Frestelse)
We may never know who Jansson is, but Jansson's temptation (Janssons frestelse) is an absolute must on a cold and frigid evening. You might be put off by the inclusion of anchovies, but you will be really surprised at how well the saltiness of the fish works in this dish. If the anchovies are a definite 'no,' then substitute smoked salmon. It won't have the same saltiness in each bite, but the salmon can be just as delicious in its own right. This is the one recipe that I get requests for after parties and there is always an amusing display of disbelief afterwards when the inclusion of anchovies is revealed.
