Ingredients
  

  • 2 large potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Drain them and mash them in a large bowl.

Notes

To make the perfect gnocchis with tofu and eggplant, there are a few tips that you should keep in mind. Firstly, be sure to mash the potatoes well and remove any lumps. This will ensure that your gnocchis have a smooth texture. Secondly, be sure to bake the eggplant until it's soft and lightly browned. This will help to bring out its flavor and make it more tender. Lastly, be sure to use firm tofu for this recipe, as it will hold its shape better during cooking.
