300 Gr. Wheat Flour or 2.5 cups1 kg white Potatoes 2.2 pounds1 Egg yolkSalt to taste
Wash the potatoes and without peeling, put them in a pot of salty water and boil.

Sprinkle a pastry board with flour and put crushed potatoes on it, add salt and the flour.
Mix all these ingredients till to get a firm and smooth dough. Add the egg and mix again till the dough is soft, pliable, and just a little bit sticky.
Divide the dough into 5 or 8 equal pieces. Flour hands lightly and using both, roll each piece into a roll about 3/4 inch diameter and 8 to 10 inches long. Cut each roll into 1 inch thick pieces.
Hold a fork with its tines against the board, curved part of fork facing away from you. Starting from outside of bottom curve, press each piece of dough with index finger firmly upward along the length of the tines. Let the gnocchi fall back onto the surface.
Place gnocchi on lightly floured plate or baking sheet. They can be cooked immediately, or refrigerated (uncovered) several hours or overnight.
Put dumplings into a large pan with boiling salty water and cook, uncovered, over high heat, until gnocchi rise to surface, about 1-2 minutes.
Drain and dress them with the sauce, you prefer.
