Prepare the Gnocchi Dough

Wash the potatoes well, and leave the skin on. Place cleaned potatoes into a large pot of salted water, and proceed to boil over high heat.
We recommend using starchy white potatoes in the preparation of gnocchi (to bind the pasta better).
When potatoes are softened, drain and peel while still warm. Using potato smasher, smash potatoes relatively finely.
Place onto well-floured kitchen surface. Add a pinch of salt and the flour. Proceed to combine well, until you have a compact dough that is still soft.
Add the egg, and continue to blend and combine ingredients until you have a dough without lumps, and that is nicely compact.

Make the Gnocchi

Roll dough out (using hands) into several logs, and proceed to cut with a kitchen knife into 1"pieces.
As you remove the gnocchi from your surface, place onto well-floured plate or tray.
Once you've cut all the logs into smaller pieces, gently indent fork tines onto each piece for the characteristic gnocchi tops.
Press down very gently.

Cook Gnocchi and Finish Dish

To cook the gnocchi, place pasta into boiling salted water and allow to boil over medium-high heat until the gnocchi float to the surface.
When gnocchi have been drained (be sure to reserve a little of the cooking water), blend with mushrooms, with a 1/2 ladleful of reserved cooking liquid and 1 tbs butter.
Blend well, serve hot.
