Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Boil potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes until tender.

Peel the potatoes while they are still hot.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork.

Shape the mashed potatoes into a mound and create a crater in the center.

Crack eggs into the crater and add a pinch of salt, then beat the eggs slightly.

Slowly incorporate the eggs into the mashed potatoes.

Add flour little by little until a dough forms, kneading for about 5 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Shape the dough into a ball and cover with flour, letting it rest for 10 minutes.

Cut a piece of dough and roll it into a half-inch thick cylinder, then cut into half-inch wide pieces.

Test a few gnocchi pieces in boiling salted water for about 60 seconds.

If the dough is too soft, add more flour; if too hard, reduce flour next time.

Once cooked, the gnocchi will float to the top.
