The dough in this recipe is that of gnocchi, the dish of the taverns, loved by children, tasty and simple, but above all very nutritious. It is from this last characteristic that the Roman saying 'Thursday dumplings, Friday fish, Saturday tripe' originates: gnocchi, in fact, are energetic and tasty, perfect as a hearty meal before the day of fasting or abstention from meat, which according to Catholic tradition is Friday.
This poor recipe, which required only a few readily available ingredients (potatoes, flour, eggs and water), today has many versions, enriched with butter, spices, vegetables, depending on the season.
The potato roll proposed by Andrea can be filled as desired and follows all the necessary rules for preparing perfect gnocchi: small tricks that grandmothers have revealed over time to their children and grandchildren, handing down an extraordinary culinary tradition.
