Ingredients for melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi:

• 1 and ½ kg of English potatoes (more or less 8 medium units)
• 2 egg yolks (medium eggs)
• 120 grams of sifted wheat flour (approximately 1 teacup)
• Salt to taste

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

1. Start by cutting the potatoes into large pieces and place them in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add 1 ½ tablespoons of salt and reduce the heat to low.
2. Cook for about 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Use a fork to poke them to see if they are cooked. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and use a ricer to mash them.
3. Now add 2 teaspoons of salt and ¼ teaspoon of wheat flour to season the potato dough.
4. Mix with your hands or a spoon. Add the egg yolks and knead again, incorporating them into the potato dough.
5. Continue mixing, gradually adding the remaining wheat flour, until the dough reaches a point where it can be rolled and made into gnocchi.
6. Then, on a floured countertop or sink, make cuts in the dough by rolling them with your hands and then shape them into little balls. The rolls should be 1 cm in diameter, and the cuts in each gnocchi should be around 2 cm.
7. To prevent sticking, sprinkle a little wheat flour on the counter and/or your hands. Try not to add too much flour to the dough. Grease and flour two baking sheets to place the gnocchi balls on.
8. Heat a large pot with a lid over the stove with water. When it boils, add salt and, using a slotted spoon, dip 15 to 20 gnocchi balls into the water, cooking them until they float. Then, return with more balls.
9. Using a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi and transfer them to the greased baking dish. Repeat this process until all the gnocchi are gone and then dip them in the boiling water.
