Simple and Satisfying Gnocchi Recipe

1. Wash the potatoes and bake (or boil) them for about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes in and out smoothly, indicating they are cooked.
2. Add flour onto the counter and mash the cooked potatoes directly onto it.
3. Create a well in the center of the mashed potatoes and add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk (if using).
4. Add salt and crack the eggs (if not already cracked).
5. Incorporate flour and knead the mixture until it is smooth and uniform, working as quickly as possible.
6. Cut portions of the dough into pasta stripes and roll them into long cylindrical shapes.
7. Cut the cylindrical dough into gnocchi pieces of your preferred size (the example suggests 2-3 cm).
8. Add the gnocchi to boiling salted water and mix immediately to prevent them from sticking together. After a few seconds, they should no longer stick.
9. Once the gnocchi float to the surface, take them out and add them to your chosen sauce.
