Wash the potatoes well and place them in a pot with cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat.

When the potatoes are tender (check with a toothpick), drain and peel them while still hot.
- 4
Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer onto a work surface.
- 5
Add the flour and knead quickly.

Roll the dough into ropes about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.

Roll each piece over a gnocchi board, fork, or grater to shape.

Tips:
✔️ Work with the potatoes while they're very hot—the heat helps the starch form a gel that gives the dough structure.
✔️ Boil the potatoes with the skins on to prevent them from absorbing too much water.
✔️ The best potatoes are white potatoes because they're starchy. - 15
Mistakes to avoid:
❌ Don't use a food mill or blender to mash the potatoes—they'll turn gluey.
❌ Don't add flour to cold potatoes.
❌ Don't use new potatoes.
