Potatoe Gnocchi

When I get the passion for something a bit different I will make up gnocchi I like it served with a light tomatoe style Italian sauce with fresh basil and garlic but any sauce will do

4 Potatoes cooked drained and dried well
1 tablespoon butter
4 tablespoons flour
s/p
1 egg beaten

Boil potatoe drain and dry when cooked or microwave dry till cooked
Crush them with a potaoto masher they can also be put through a sieve.
Cool potatoe a bit then work in the butter flour and seasoning and add enough egg to just make it bind do not over do it and let it go sticky
When well mixed and and smooth roll into small sausage shapes then cut off into small pieces
Roll each piece under the flat of a fork
When ready to serve add them to simmering water and poach for about 10 minutes
Serve with your favorite pasta sauce
