Then we will choose the best pot wave that we have put enough water and heat up to the boiling point, and throw the potatoes without peeling their skin, we must leave enough time to be well cooked. We reserve to let it warm to room temperature, although you can also use the potatoes when they are warm.

After cooking the potatoes we will proceed to remove the skin, and then we will devote ourselves to crush with the help of a potato masher until we get a pure, we will immediately add the flour, and begin to knead, it is not necessary to throw all the flour, ration the portions while we are kneading until we get a manageable consistency, for this step we must not allow the end of kneading the dough to stick from our hands. This will indicate that we still have to add flour and knead a little more.

The traditional way to make gnocchi is with a fork, so stretch the dough and cut it into small pieces, and with the help of the fork we will step on each of the pieces cut to give it its traditional rounded shape.

When we finish with each one of the gnocchi we reserve, and in the same pot where we cook the potatoes, we will fill it with enough water and we will take to high fire, once this boiling the water we will add the gnocchi, you can add all at the same time or for part, for being a preparation of fresh mass, when we incorporate to the pot all the gnocchi will remain in the bottom, and when they are ready it will realize because they will be floating, immediately remove them and put them in a strainer.
