Baba Matilde'S Breadcrumb Gnocchi (Or Shlishkes)

1. 1

   Boil potatoes and puree them, taking care of not leaving any clumps. I use the hand blender. While they are still warm but not too hot, add the egg and the flour, and mix them until the batter is homogeneous. It should be sticky but not liquid.

2. 2

   Chill it in the fridge for 30'. In the meantime, boil a pot of water and prepare the breadcrumb mix: melt and brown 6 tablespoons of butter in the stovetop, and when the butter is melted and smells nutty, add 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly covered in butter, and remove from stovetop when toasted. Transfer breadcrumb mix to a serving dish.

3. 3

   Take the gnocchi batter from the fridge, and using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter on the boiling water. The gnocchi will be ready when they float on the surface of the water. About 3-4 minutes. Remove them from boiling water, drain, and transfer them to the serving dish with the breadcrumb mix. Don't overcrowd the boiling water. Dropping batches of 4-5 gnocchi at the time worked well for me, using a 5 quart pot.
