Boil the large russet potato in salted water until tender.

Drain the potato and let it cool slightly before peeling.

Pass the peeled potato through a ricer into a large bowl.

Add the flour, egg, salt, and black pepper to the riced potato.

Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

Divide the dough into smaller portions for easier handling.

Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1 inch thick.

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Drop gnocchi into boiling water and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes.
