Scale

1 cup dry potato flakes

1 cup boiling water

1 egg

beaten

1 teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

In a bowl, combine the dry potato flakes and boiling water, stirring until fully absorbed.
Add the beaten egg, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir until combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
On a floured surface, knead the dough gently until smooth.
Roll the dough into long strips and cut into small pieces to form gnocchi.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve with your favorite sauce or topping.

For a richer flavor, consider adding grated cheese or herbs to the dough before cooking.
