We don't know about you, but we could gobble up potatoes all day long without getting tired of them. The only challenge is trying to vary the shape: gratin, chips, pommes dauphines, fries, and so on and the best (cheap expression).

We were in Italy a few days ago, and since we're a bit cheeky, we took the opportunity to make some gnocchi (as if you need to be in Italy to eat gnocchi).

Plus, we found an advantage over the rest: you can swallow them without chewing (don't actually try it). And since we're a bit lazy, that's pretty cool.

Steps

Peel the potatoes. Immerse them in a large pot filled with water and a handful of coarse salt. Bring to a boil and then cook for approximately 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the size of your potatoes) until they become tender.
Drain them and then mash to make a puree. Add the olive oil and nutmeg. Mix the starch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to your preparation. You can also add herbs or other spices.
Dry out the puree in a saucepan over high heat. Finish by adding the flour to form a ball. The more you add, the easier your dough will be to work with, but your gnocchi will be less tender afterwards. You need a pliable texture, but not too dry as a result ;)
Lightly flour your work surface to shape your gnocchis. Form 1 cm diameter dough rolls and cut them with a knife to make small dumplings. You can roll them on the back of a fork to create ridges.
Boil a large amount of water with coarse salt and add the gnocchis for about 2 minutes. When they float to the surface, they're cooked ;) You can then brown them in a pan with vegetables, herbs...
