Cooking instruction summary:

To a large preheated skillet. add onion, celery, basil, and bacon; cook until bacon is slightly crisp; drain off any excessive fat, but leave in a little; add chicken broth; bring to a boil; and simmer until most of the chicken broth has evaporated.Peel the potatoes; using a ricer (or colander* - takes much longer) rice them; add them to a large bowl; and set aside. Mashing the potatoes by hand does not work, though I haven't tried a food processor, yet. You just have to make sure there are not even the tiniest lumps.Add the flour, egg, and salt, if using to the riced potatoes; kneed into a dough; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to up to 4 days.Divide dough into 4-8 pieces; roll out into a log 3/4" - 1" log onto a lightly floured surfaced; cut 1/3-1/2" wide circles; shape as you desire. If you'd like to make them fancy, roll them thinner and cut them wider. Then by using the back of a fork, pass the fork against the tops to form an indentation (see photo below).Boil a large pot of water; add 1 tablespoon oil; add gnocchi and boil for 2 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water.Preheat a large non-stick frying pan with 1-2 Tablespoons oil and fry the gnocchi on each side for 5 minutes, or until most are golden brown, on medium to medium-high heat.Place a strip of your favorite pasta sauce, sour cream, or Greek yogurt across the center of each individual serving bowl or plate; add gnocchi and top with ragu. Serve warm.

Food Joke

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot." "Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George." "I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister." "Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."
