1¼ cups (310 ml) unflavoured instant potato flakes (not powdered instant mashed potatoes) ⅛ tsp (a pinch) each salt and white pepper 1 egg, lightly beaten 1½ cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed 1. In a medium saucepan, bring about 10 cups (2.5 L) water to a boil. 2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine instant potato flakes, salt and white pepper and add 1 cup (250 ml) boiling water. Stir until potato flakes absorb liquid, then set aside to cool until quite warm but not hot. 3. Add egg to potato mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Add flour and gently mix until a dough forms. Turn onto a clean, well-floured surface and gently knead a couple of times, adding a bit more flour if dough still feels sticky. 4. Divide dough into 3 even pieces and shape each into a long roll about ¾-in (2 cm) thick. Using a knife lightly coated with flour, cut rolls into pieces about ¾-in (2 cm) long. If classic gnocchi ridges are desired, gently press each piece with back of a fork. 5. Lightly salt remaining boiling water and cook gnocchi in small batches. When gnocchi float, cook for another 20 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Can be made ahead and stored, lightly coated with oil, in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 days.
