Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly. Mash until smooth, allowing steam to escape for about 10-15 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Gently knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, taking care not to overwork it.

Divide the dough into four parts, roll each into a long rope about ¾ inch thick, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, use a fork to create ridges.

Boil a pot of salted water, drop in the gnocchi, and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.
