Gnocchi with Thanksgiving Leftovers



As usual my spouse made WAY too many side dishes for Thanksgiving dinner. I don’t mind this when it comes to stuffing which is a big favorite of mine. But there are only so many mashed potatoes I can eat before I’ve had enough. While mashed potatoes aren’t one of my favorite things, gnocchi are. I’ve made them before and they take mashed up potatoes in addition to egg and flour. So I wondered if I could find a recipe for gnocchi that used leftover mashed potatoes rather than cooking potatoes from scratch.

I found a simple recipe and decided to double it to use up more of the leftover potatoes. After mixing everything together, I divided it into 6 piece and rolled out long cord to cut into small pieces. Next I rolled each piece over a fork and put on a wax paper covered tray.
