Ingredients
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped

Directions
Step 1 – In a medium bowl add flour and baking powder, mix well and set aside

Step 2 – In a large bowl add leftover mashed potatoes and make a well. Add in egg and mix well.

Step 3 – Slowly add the flour mixture to the leftover mashed potato mixture and knead until a soft dough is formed. Be careful not over work the dough. It’s okay if you don’t use all the flour!

Step 4 – Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and section into four equal parts using a knife or pastry cutter. Roll out one section of dough into a rope about 1-inch in diameter. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces and then gently roll each piece on the back of a fork to create ridges. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 5 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In small batches, add the gnocchi and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes after they begin to float. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 6 (optional) – In a large pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add in cooked gnocchi and sage. Continue to cook until gnocchi are browned. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Step 7 – Serve and enjoy!
