Method
Ingredients
To make the gnocchi:
Scoop out the fluffy insides of the roast potatoes and discard the skins. Mash, pushing the potato through a sieve, if necessary, to remove all lumps. Add the egg yolks, flour and salt. Mix by hand until you have a pliable dough.
Dust a work surface with flour, then, using your fingertips, gently roll the dough into long strips, 1 cm wide. Cut each roll into 1.5 cm pieces, then flatten each piece using the tines of a fork.
Fill a large saucepan with water, add the olive oil and bring to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until the dumplings float to the surface. Remove from the water using a slotted spoon.
