For 4 people you will need:

• 1kg of potatoes
• 250 g of wheat flour
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 little butter
• Salt and pepper

The steps to prepare the gnocchi:

• Start by cooking the potatoes in boiling salted water for 25-30 minutes depending on their size. The meat should be tender and tender.
• Peel the potatoes and mash them with a fork (or a potato masher, if you have the equipment).
• In a salad bowl, add the sifted flour and egg yolks to the potatoes. Mix until you obtain a homogeneous and non-sticky dough.
• Flour the work surface, then take part of the dough and roll it up like a sausage. Then cut it into 2-3 cm pieces.
• With the back of a fork, press each piece to give it the shape of gnocchi.
• Once all the gnocchi have been prepared, cook them in a pan with boiling salted water. They will be cooked when they float to the surface, after about 2 minutes.
