It is best to boil the potatoes with their peel, so they maintain their flavor. Boil them in a pot covered with water. Once cooked, put away from the fire and try to peel them while they´re still hot.

Step 2

Dry the potatoes, place them in a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Mash them until you get a puree. Make a nest with the mashed potatoes and add ½ the egg yolk.

Step 3

Sprinkle the potato nest with flour, knead all the ingredients and make a ball. The kneading must be quick (potatoes are very humid so they would need more and more flour and end up being hard).

Step 4

Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and place the dough, make not too thin sticks, and cut them in small pieces. Then roll each piece through a fork. Once ready, cook them in a pot with boiling water until they float in the surface, leave them a few mor minutes and remove them from the water to serve them.

Step 5

If you want to save the gnocchi for later, you can remove them from the water, drain them, then rinse with cold water, drain them again and, with your hands anointed in oil, place them in a container with cover. In this way you can save them in your fridge for a few more days.
