500g boiled potato, mashed

150g of 00 pasta flour

100g Parmigiano Reggiano

20g salt

2 egg yolks

Instructions

Boil potatoes, then peel and put through potato ricer

Combine with all other ingredients, and mix by hand gently (or else they will turn gluey).

Start boiling a pot of water.

Roll dough into long “sausages” of dough, then cut with bench scraper.

Cook the gnocchi in small batches (to keep the water boiling) until they float.

Remove and drop immediately into ice bath to cool down. (Do not leave in too long, or they will soak up water.)
