Boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Let potatoes cool slightly before peeling.

Pass the peeled potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl.

Add flour (1/3 cup per potato) to the riced potatoes.

Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

Divide dough into sections and roll each into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add gnocchi in batches.

Cook until gnocchi float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Top with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
