Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 25-30 minutes. 2. 🥔 Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, peel the potatoes and pass them through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth. 3. 🧂 Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt over the mashed potatoes, then add the egg and mix well to combine. 4. 🌾 Gradually add the flour to the potato mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. 5. 🍴 Dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough gently until it comes together and is no longer sticky, adding more flour as needed. 6. 🥔 Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. 7. 🍽️ Use a knife to cut the ropes of dough into bite-sized pieces, then use a fork or gnocchi board to create ridges on each gnocchi. 8. 🔥 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. 9. 🌟 Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, then let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
