Ingredients
- 2 lb Potatoes
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
- 2 tbsp Butter
Steps
- Bake the potatoes whole until completely tender — baked, never boiled, so the dough stays dry and light.
- Rice the hot potatoes, cool slightly, then work in the flour, egg, and salt into a soft dough that barely holds together.
- Roll into ropes, cut into pillows, and roll each over a fork for the ridges that catch the sauce.
- Boil in well-salted water; the ñoquis are done 30 seconds after they float.
- Toss with hot tomato sauce and butter, shower with parmesan, and tuck a bill under someone's plate for luck — it's the 29th.
